At the same time, it\u2019s also stayed the same, but still a notable and energetic departure from conventional jazz.<\/p>\n<p>Before the show, Orrin Evans (piano) sauntered unnoticed and freely surveying those in attendance. Evans, when recognized, was gracious and happily engaged with fans.<\/p>\n<p>The trio appeared on stage at&nbsp;8:00 p.m., and it was immediately apparent why this band has earned the following that they have. <strong>Reid Anderson&nbsp;<\/strong>(bass), <strong>Dave King&nbsp;<\/strong>(drums), and Orrin Evans energetically and seamlessly intertwined their instruments with one another. Throughout the evening one thing was sure: the band was enjoying themselves \u2014 you could not help but notice King beaming with an ear-to-ear smile. Anderson&#8217;s bass provided a luscious and rich sound that often appeared at the beginning of a song and then sustained the backbone of each song. Lending to their Avant-guard reputation, Anderson provided rare bass mastery as he played the fingerboard on the belly of the bass close to the violin corners of his instrument. At times, King would delicately add precise texture to a song with the exacting touch, the butt of his drumstick achieving a perfect accent or crescendo to a piece. All the while Evans would flawlessly interact with the bass and drum before flying away effortlessly like a bird taking flight into the heavens.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-42780\" alt=\"\" width=\"925\" height=\"1024\" title=\"The Bad Plus\" data-id=\"42780\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%; user-select: none;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923.jpg 925w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-135x150.jpg 135w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-271x300.jpg 271w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-768x850.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-108x120.jpg 108w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-58x64.jpg 58w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-199x220.jpg 199w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-90x100.jpg 90w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-244x270.jpg 244w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-226x250.jpg 226w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-145x160.jpg 145w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-339x375.jpg 339w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-421x466.jpg 421w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-506x560.jpg 506w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 925px) 100vw, 925px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text thrv-inline-text\">Dave King&nbsp;(drums)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-42780\" alt=\"\" width=\"925\" height=\"1024\" title=\"The Bad Plus\" data-id=\"42780\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%; user-select: none;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923.jpg 925w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-135x150.jpg 135w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-271x300.jpg 271w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-768x850.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-108x120.jpg 108w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-58x64.jpg 58w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-199x220.jpg 199w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-90x100.jpg 90w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-244x270.jpg 244w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-226x250.jpg 226w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-145x160.jpg 145w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-339x375.jpg 339w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-421x466.jpg 421w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7923-506x560.jpg 506w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 925px) 100vw, 925px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text thrv-inline-text\">Dave King&nbsp;(drums)<\/p>\n<p>Despite having the reputation as an Avant-guard jazz band, The Bad Plus&#8217;s music is exceptionally accessible.

In the end, you could easily see smiles and sincere appreciation for the performance throughout the venue.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the evening Anderson would indicate the songs the band had just played and who composed the song. At one point Anderson told the audience members where their album and merchandise could be purchased to which he joked &#8220;Miles Davis would have been like &#8216;you guys are so on top of it!'&#8221; to which the audience laughed out loud.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-42779\" alt=\"\" width=\"621\" height=\"1024\" title=\"The Bad Plus\" data-id=\"42779\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%; user-select: none;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969.jpg 621w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-91x150.jpg 91w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-182x300.jpg 182w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-73x120.jpg 73w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-39x64.jpg 39w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-133x220.jpg 133w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-61x100.jpg 61w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-164x270.jpg 164w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-152x250.jpg 152w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-97x160.jpg 97w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-227x375.jpg 227w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-283x466.jpg 283w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7969-340x560.jpg 340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text thrv-inline-text\"> Reid Anderson (bass)<\/p>\n<p>In years and performances past The Bad Plus has included jazz interpretations of <strong>Nirvana<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Pink Floyd<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Neil Young<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Queen<\/strong>, and <strong>Black Sabbath&nbsp;<\/strong>to name a few. This evening\u2019s performance revolved around the songs contained on Never Stop II, perhaps because the band was making a statement, perhaps because their tour is in support of this album, or possibly because of the reputation of Blues Alley.
