Anderson and King are originally from Minnesota. King is also part of the Minnesota-based groups Halloween, Alaska, Happy Apple, and Love-Cars. Founding member and pianist Ethan Iverson left the group at the beginning of 2018 and was replaced by Orrin Evans. Evans left the group in 2021.

The three original members first played together in 1989, but didn't come together as an established act until 2000. Perhaps to make up for lost time, they proceeded to record their first album, a self-titled effort released on Fresh Sound, after playing only three gigs together. In 2002, after playing a show at the Village Vanguard which was heard by Columbia Records representative Yves Beauvais, the band was signed to Columbia. They released their major label debut, These Are the Vistas, in 2003, and followed it up with Give in 2004 and Suspicious Activity? in 2005. Also in 2005, a live disc - Blunt Object: Live in Tokyo - was released. The band went into the studio again in September 2006 to record Prog, released in May 2007.

The trio's music combines elements of traditional and free jazz with rock and pop influences; These Are the Vistas included a version of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and "Flim" by Aphex Twin. Give contains covers of tunes by the Pixies and Black Sabbath, while Suspicious Activity contains a cover of the theme from Chariots of Fire. Prog contains a cover of Rush's "Tom Sawyer".

I just graduated high school a couple weeks ago and I'm really realizing that even though I hated it, there were certain portions I really loved. Friends, playing bass in jazz, band, the musicals, English, history, all these things changed me. I grew as a person from someone who was shy and really sad into someone who learned to love himself and what he could do. Mid way into my senior year I saw these guys in concert with my jazz band, and cried with this song, it was so beautiful. I cannot listen to this song without reliving the bad, but more importantly the good of those four years.

powerful man, excited for you to continue through this process of self-discovery and coming into your own, which we call living :) we're all going through it, and it is powerful to see that these moments of development carry weight for you as well!

Eric James

Dude. I have gotten this emotional over a song since I was like 16.

Coltrane Cho

I got to see their last show as the original bad plus on new years at the village vanguard. Reid Anderson was so kind and cool, you always know which songs are his from the mood he sets.

Ryan Devine

I have not been depressed at all lately, in fact, i've been happier than usual, but this song had me sobbing as i was driving in my car the other day. these guys are incredible. I'm seeing them in NYC tomorrow night and I couldn't be more pumped

Doug Stringer

Heard this live at the Village Vanguard. Note for note, measure for measure, well, pound for pound, it is the best jazz recording I know. I wish Reid would write a 30 minute version.

Murilo Lima

This song was my entrance door to jazz. Amazing, impossible to describe what it makes me feel on 3:47!!!
