Through their own Do the Math imprint, The Bad Plus make their debut on Heads Up (North America) and Emarcy/Universal with the May 8, 2007 release of Prog - about which Billboard stated, "A gourmet 10-course meal of the sublime (a gorgeous take on Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"), the rowdy (a raucous ride through the original "Physical Cities") and the eclectic (Iverson's "Mint," Rush's "Tom Sawyer"). Easily the most likable and listenable jazz album of 2007."
The Bad Plus draw from diverse and unlikely sources and forge a sound which defies categorization. "Like everything we do, Prog combines a lot of different influences without creating boundaries," says bassist Reid Anderson. "We'll try almost anything - as long as it makes good music."
