The Bad Plus live in Orlando

Experience The Bad Plus live on November 21st

The Bad Plus will be performing at Judson’s Live in Orlando, Florida on November 21, 2026. The Bad Plus is a jazz trio known for its unconventional approach to the genre, blending elements of avant-garde, rock, and classical music into their interpretations of both original compositions and covers of popular songs. Formed in Minneapolis in 2000, the group originally comprised Ethan Iverson on piano, Reid Anderson on bass, and David King on drums; personnel has shifted over time with current members including Anderson and King. Their performances are characterized by energetic improvisation, deconstructed song structures, and a distinctive rhythmic interplay.

Opened in January 2023, it aims to provide an intimate club setting for nationally and internationally touring artists. The space is designed to accommodate approximately 650 guests and focuses on presenting a diverse range of musical genres including jazz, blues, rock, and alternative acts. It distinguishes itself from the larger performance halls within the Dr.
