After waiting over an hour for anyone to even appear on the stage, I was rather disappointed that no announcement or apology was made for starting an hour and 15 minutes late.
Even though I knew this what not meant to be typical jazz music, I really did not think it was that extraordinary or amazing. I think I would have in fact preferred some real jazz!
Very disappointing overall, especially as I chose this event for my birthday...

The Bad Plus are amazing and nothing beats a attending a live performance of theirs. If you haven't before, check out their calendar and plan to go to their next show. You won't regret it!

This show was amazing. The sound was great, the atmosphere was great and the band was in top form. The songs from the new album, Never Stop, were played improvisationally, yet when I purchased an album after the show and listened I instantly recognized them all. It was a treat to hear "Big Eater", "Flim"(Richard D. James) and "Physical Cities", all songs that my band and I discussed we would love to hear at the show. No matter what type of music you are into, you should do whatever it takes to see this band!

This was my fourth time seeing The Bad Plus and it was easily the best show. As performers the are together and top flight but the difference maker is the new songs. The new originals were some of their best compositions to date. It seemed as though they were able to write for the live performance instead of the studio sterility, so the energy was top notch.

Amazing, engaging soundscapes and surprises, The Bad + bends the boundaries of musical genre from within the language of jazz. Awesome for jazz novices and aficionados alike. Pioneering, and it feels so good...

The Bad Plus has been at the top of my listening list for almost as long as they have been in existence (10 years!) They are supremely talented as individuals and constantly innovative as a trio. Incredible performance!

Phenomenal music-making. Brilliantly virtuosic and authentic grab-yer-guts energy. "Never Stop" is apt. If America honored its best, The Bad Plus would be a national treasure.
