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.
Based in New York  City, the intensely collaborative trio has constantly searched for rules to break and  boundaries to cross, bridging genres and techniques while exploring the infinite  possibil ities of three exceptional musicians working in perfect sync. The Bad Plus‘ 10th studio recording, Inevitable Western, sees bassist Reid Anderson, pianist Ethan  Iverson, and drummer David King further honing the same conceptual base that fired  their incept ion. Yet again they continue to explore myriad musical forms born of jazz  along with any sonic source that forwards music that is uniquely The Bad Plus.
Inevitable Western is an album where pop, blues, and folk meld with classic melodies  and rhythmic innov ation into that rarest of hybrids: intelligent music for the masses.
