1st annual Wine, Jazz, and World FETE
The Bad Plus

“One of the great, true groups in jazz of the past 25 years.”—Joshua Redman.

The Bad Plus came together at the end of the 20th century and has avoided easy categorization ever since, winning critical hosannas and a legion of fans worldwide with their creativity, unique sound and flair for live performance. Consisting of founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums), and new member Orrin Evans (piano), the intensely collaborative trio has constantly searched for rules to break and boundaries to cross, bridging genres and techniques while exploring the infinite possibilities of three exceptional musicians working in perfect sync. Never Stop II is the first full-length release from this lineup, comprised entirely of original music with each member contributing fresh compositions. The New York Times calls it “an exhilarating document” that sparks an exciting new chapter for the iconic group. Please note that if you have purchased a ticket to Friday’s wine tasting/sneak peek at Duet, The Bad Plus concert is included in the ticket price.
