Product Description
Independent to the core The Bad Plus are the first and only group to bridge the gap between no-compromise jazz and cutting edge alternative.
They re road dogs, equally at home in jazz clubs, rock venues, concert halls, and festivals around the world.
Their new album is Made Possible. Nine originals, tightly performed, but infused with energy, irreverence, and an attitude of surprise. Picking up where their acclaimed collection, Never Stop, left off, Made Possible is another creative musical advance: music made to capture and hold the attention of aware listeners everywhere.

It was only a year or two ago that a good friend introduced me to The Bad Plus as something "I might like". I did.
Someone, somewhere will be able to categorize them, but until they do I'll refrain from attempting.
This particular album I bought as MP3s so that I could hear it immediately, and the only comment I can muster is: if you like any of their other albums, you'll like this even more. It has been playing on a loop for three consecutive work-days and has increased my productivity and personal happiness by some significant amount. Probably.
Regardless, I love it.

I love The Bad Plus. They are one of the few bands for which I have bought a copy of every CD they have made. Made Possible really feels like it picks up where Never Stop left off. The band are still pushing, still trying new things, but I'm not yet convinced by the inclusion of electronic sounds here....and the writing just doesn't feel as strong as earlier records...is this the band 'maturing'? If so, I hope they all hit midlife crisis soon and recapture some of the early fire.
I think that Never Stop and Made Possible could have been edited into one killer album, rather than two good albums.
Whatever, it's just my opinion (so far) as a long-standing fan. I might be missing something. Anyway - a 3-star Bad Plus record is still well worth a listen.

The Bad Plus did a concert in "Bimhuis", Amsterdam, on 26-10-12.
It wash a smashing succes. They played many songs from their album "Made possible".
Their "hypnotic" play brought tears in my eye. The girl next to me also needed the help of some tissues....

Another excellent record by the Bad Plus
This trio is consistently producing interesting and exciting records. While this one is not my favorite, it is still very strong and the rhythms are challenging and potent.
