Overview
For more than 20 years, The Bad Plus has been boldly pushing the needle in the jazz world with fearless technical aplomb and an unorthodox approach to the jazz repertoire. Introducing its new quartet configuration in the 2021/22 season, this pathbreaking ensemble brings its trademark wit and virtuosity to a fresh batch of new compositions. Saxophonist and Chicago stalwart Greg Ward makes his debut as a bandleader at Symphony Center with his two-guitar outfit Rogue Parade, whose electric interplay and hard-edged sound channel the verve of modern American metropolises.
