The Bad Plus Complex Emotions

For nearly 25 years The Bad Plus have reinvented the concept of instrumental music in mainstream culture, receiving praise from rock/indie audiences at Rolling Stone & Pitchfork to classical/jazz critics at The Los Angeles Times & The New York Times. On the coattails of their highly successful 2022 self-titled album – which sold out on vinyl prior to the album release date – founding members Reid Anderson (bass) & Dave King (drums) continue to focus on original composition with newcomers Ben Monder (guitar) & Chris Speed (saxophone) on their 16th studio recording.
