The Bad Plus Live at KEXP

On May 13, 2025, The Bad Plus rocked the KEXP studio with a fiery rendition of “Tyrone’s Flamingo.” The quartet—Reid Anderson on bass, Dave King on drums, Ben Monder on guitar and Chris Speed on sax—delivered a tight, high-energy set under host John Gilbreath’s guidance.

Behind the scenes, Kevin Suggs handled audio engineering, Matt Ogaz took care of mastering, and a camera team (Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Leah Franks & Luke Knecht) captured every moment, with Beckmann also editing.
