Live from KUVO: The Bad Plus on YouTube, Twitch Thursday 5/1
Some bands flourish in performance, like The Bad Plus, who visited KUVO studios recently with a set that was at the same time both trippy and locked in. See this exclusive session with The Bad Plus, dropping on KUVO YouTube and Twitch channels this Thursday, May 1, at 11 a.m.
The Bad Plus are the ultimate originals. A democratic unit with a clear vision and a refusal to conform to convention. For the past two decades, they have played with spirit and adventure, made their own rules and done so with a bold sense of creativity and intent. Avoiding easy categorization, The Bad Plus has won critical acclaim and a legion of fans worldwide with their unique sound and flair for live performance.
The Bad Plus continues to push boundaries as founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) embark on a new piano-less incarnation of the band with Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor saxophone) – instigating a new wave of excitement and anticipation within the band that is re-energizing their sound and inspiration. The Bad Plus have constantly searched to bridge genres and techniques while exploring the infinite possibilities of exceptional musicians working in perfect sync.
The Bad Plus released their 18th album via Mack Avenue Records in November 2024. “Evolution is necessary for life and creativity,” say Dave King and Reid Anderson. “We’ve evolved, but we’re still The Bad Plus.”
Set List:
- Casa Ben
- French Horns
