The cycle of July concerts will start on July 6 in the courtyard of the former Rovinj Tobacco Factory by the performance of undoubtedly one of the greatest successes of the last decade, The Bad Plus band. For the past ten years, this trio consisting of Reid Anderson on bass, Ethan Iverson on piano and David King on drums, have shattered jazz conventions and created an uncompromising body of work that at the same time got much good criticism and provoked much controversy. Since their debut album, the band has been constantly touring, playing and creating a diverse and ecstatic hybrid audience at jazz clubs, symphony halls and rock venues (they were an opening act for The Pixies, Wilco, etc.) in the U.S. and worldwide. A catalogue of disparate impacts which The Bad Plus brings to the stage through original compositions and numerous remakes is a triumphant combination.
