The Bad Plus is a collective made up of bassist Reid Anderson, pianist Ethan Iverson, and drummer David King. All three are from the Midwest and they have known each other since their teens. Nonetheless, with the exception of one unimpressive meeting in 1990, it is only after spending their formative 20s apart -- King as a session player in Los Angeles, Iverson as the musical director for the Mark Morris Dance Group, Anderson as a prominent up-and-coming player on the New York jazz scene -- that they reunited in late 2000 to play a weekend club date in Minneapolis. The chemistry was immediate and obvious. They planned a second gig and a one-day recording session for the indie jazz label Fresh Sound and The Bad Plus was born.
There are complete versions of tracks from various albums on the "standalone MP3 player" above.
Tour dates etc. are found on the band's official website.
While we will respond to MySpace mail, the best way to contact us--especially if you want to contact just one of us--is the yahoo address on the website. The "MySpace email" is a bit hard for all three of us to get in on.
On-line Community Forum for Jazz Festival 55 is now live. Check it out and post comments on The Bad Plus's upcoming performance or on other Festival artists. http://jazzfestival55.com/forum/
