The Bad Plus: Chris Potter and Craig Taborn

Four acclaimed artists, each with their own storied careers in jazz, celebrate the music of Keith Jarrett's American Quartet, the impact it's had on them and an entire generation of jazz artists. 

For Reid Anderson, Dave King, Chris Potter, and Craig Taborn, the music of Keith Jarrett’s American Quartet is more than a source of inspiration, it is foundational. The quartet’s groundbreaking fusion of swing, freedom, and folk-like melodicism left an indelible mark on all jazz artists seeking to balance structure with spontaneity, groove with exploration. This project is not simply a tribute; it is a continuation of the spirit that Jarrett, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, and Paul Motian embodied: a fearless commitment to musical dialogue, emotional depth, and boundary-pushing improvisation.

The Bad Plus: Chris Potter and Craig Taborn revisit this formative repertoire with deep reverence and a fresh vision. Together, they capture the raw, exploratory energy of the American Quartet while bringing their own distinct voices to the material.
