The Bad Plus is an American jazz quartet that was founded in 2000 in New York City. Originally a trio, the band consists of Reid Anderson on bass and David King on drums, who have been with the group since its inception. In 2021, Chris Speed joined as the tenor saxophonist and Ben Monder as the guitarist.
Over the years, The Bad Plus has seen changes in their lineup, with Ethan Iverson on piano from 2000 to 2017 and Orrin Evans taking over from 2018 to 2021. Their unique blend of jazz has captivated audiences worldwide.
Influenced by artists such as Esbjörn Svensson Trio, Brad Mehldau Trio, and Medeski, Martin & Wood among others, The Bad Plus continues to push boundaries within the genre. With their distinctive sound and innovative approach to improvisation, they have established themselves as one of the most exciting acts in contemporary jazz.

21 years after their landmark first appearance as a genre exploding piano-bass-drums trio, the ever adventurous The Bad Plus have reinvented themselves as a dynamic quartet with the addition of guitarist Ben Monder and saxophonist Chris Speed. This new iteration of the group makes its vital eponymous debut now, as always, challenging convention by pushing their inimitable approach to jazz in boundary-breaking new directions. Though the components may have changed, what remains is The Bad Plus’s unique musical language and their undeniable drive and intent. Having re-contextualized their own chemistry, 'The Bad Plus' not only affirms the band’s continuing relevance and longevity, it burns bright on its own terms as an extraordinarily powerful debut from an all-new creative force to be reckoned with.
