Over the past ten years The Bad Plus Reid Anderson, Ethan Iverson and David King have broken down the walls of jazz convention and created an uncompromising body of work.

While the bulk of their output has been original music, they are equally at home with tunes by Blondie, Bacharach, Nirvana and Aphex Twin.

The famed ballet that caused a riot on its premiere, opened the door to 20th Century music and animated Disney’s Fantasia. The Rite is a touchstone rooted in tribal and Russian folk music.
