For nearly 25 years The Bad Plus have reinvented the concept of instrumental music in mainstream culture, receiving praise from rock/indie audiences at Rolling Stone and Pitchfork, to classical/jazz critics at The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times. On the coattails of their highly successful 2022 self-titled album - which sold out on vinyl prior to the album release date - founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) continue to focus on original composition with newcomers Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (saxophone) on their 16th studio recording. This second pressing is on classic black vinyl.
