THE BAD PLUS

This critically acclaimed jazz trio returns to Montalvo with their intrepid explorations and penchant for humor that defy conventional notions of what jazz should sound like: SF Gate calls the trio “one of the few modern music groups that digs deep beneath the surface of idioms and styles and taps into core aesthetics of both jazz and rock, eschewing ‘fusion’ in favor of something more fundamental and organic. Rolling Stone Magazine noted of their music: "By any standard, jazz or otherwise, it is moving, mighty music...bad to the bone, hot players with hard-rock hearts."
