The Bad Plus (s/t 2)

Another Bad Plus reboot, this time replacing piano completely with Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor).

Destined to be the last incarnation of the Bad Plus, if their announcement holds, with a goodbye tour going on this year.

This is recognizably Bad Plus music, while stretching in new directions. The LP itself is a little...murky sounding, unfortunately.
