Surely no other project has done more than The Bad Plus to bridge the gap between avant-garde jazz and rock. The group's instrumental versions of classics by Nirvana, Aphex Twin, Blondie, Pink Floyd, Ornette Coleman, Pixies, Tears for Fears, Neil Young, David Bowie, Yes, Interpol and The Flaming Lips are as famous as the group's original work.

Now The Bad Plus has become a quartet, after the departure of pianist Orrin Evans. The Bad Plus is currently made up of bassist Reid Anderson, drummer Dave King (both founding members), saxophone tenor Chris Speed and guitarist Ben Monder. It is the third reincarnation of the band, and they will take advantage of their time at Piñata Music Series to present their first album with this lineup.
