After 26 groundbreaking years, one of the world's most influential contemporary jazz bands takes its final bow.Direct from New York, The Bad Plus Farewell Tour arrives in Perth for one last Australian tour. Renowned for fearless improvisation, explosive live performances and a complete disregard for musical boundaries, The Bad Plus have spent more than two decades redefining what jazz can be.
Described by JazzTimes as "one of the most enduring and acclaimed working bands in jazz" and praised by NPR for their fearless reinvention, this final chapter sees founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) joined by Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor saxophone), creating a bold new sound that is unmistakably The Bad Plus.
Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering them for the first time, this is a rare chance to witness one of contemporary music's most adventurous ensembles before they close the book on an extraordinary career.
"A welcome rebirth for a beloved band." — The Times (UK)
