 \n\nThe Bad Plus are the ultimate originals. A democratic unit with a cl

 d done so with a bold sense of creativity and intent. Avoiding easy cate
 gorization\, The Bad Plus has won critical acclaim and a legion of fans 
 worldwide with their unique sound and flair for live performance.\n\nNow
  in their 21st year\, The Bad Plus continues to push boundaries as found

 while exploring the infinite possibilities of exceptional musicians work
 ing in perfect sync.\n\nThe Bad Plus is set to release their 15th studio
  recording and debut self-titled album as a dynamic new quartet via Edit

 fe and creativity\,” say Dave King and Reid Anderson. “We’ve evolv
 ed\, but we’re still The Bad Plus.”\n\nBorn in New York City in 1963

 rk and music worldwide.
