Dear friends and fans,

The Bad Plus has been a band for 26 years. That’s quite a long time! As we enter into year 27 - after a great deal of soul searching and consideration - we have decided to bring this chapter to a close. 2026 will be the final year of The Bad Plus. We share this news with heavy hearts, but also with great pride in what we have accomplished. It has been a privilege to share our music with the world and we leave behind a body of work that we could not be more proud of.

We look forward to performing our final shows throughout the coming year and hope to see as many of you as possible. This band changed our lives. Thank you all for being a part of that.

With love and gratitude,
Reid and Dave

The Bad Plus (@thebadplus) bring their adventurous take on jazz to the Horseshoe Tavern on December 17th.

For more than two decades, the band have made their own rules, pairing inventive compositions with an anything-goes approach to improvisation. Featuring founding members Reid Anderson on bass and Dave King on drums, alongside guitarist Ben Monder and saxophonist Chris Speed, the quartet delivers music that’s intricate, unpredictable and full of energy.

"Athleticism, invention and intellect define The Bad Plus" - A.D. Amorosi, @jazztimesmag 🎶

After 19 albums and 26 years, American jazz group @thebadplus is hanging up the tools!

Walking the tightrope between pure jazz talent and punchy-rocker persona, founders Reid Anderson and Dave King of The Bad Plus have redefined what jazz can be in their time as the legendary band.

With a playbook featuring unique covers of songs by artists like Nirvana, Aphex Twin, Blondie, as well as full-bodied original music, the group will turn you on your head once more on their Farewell Tour 🤘

🎷 Experience The Bad Plus in Australia for the final time!
