SUMMARY:The Bad Plus at the Dakota
DESCRIPTION:The Bad Plus are the ultimate originals. A democratic unit with a clear vision and a refusal to conform to convention. For the past two decades\, they have played with spirit and adventure and have made their own rules. Moreover\, they do so with a bold sense of creativity and intent. Avoiding easy categorization\, The Bad Plus has won critical acclaim and a legion of fans worldwide. Further\, their unique sound and flair for live performance make them a must-see ensemble. \nNow in their twenty-fifth year\, The Bad Plus continues to push boundaries. Here\, founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) embark on a new piano-less incarnation of the band. Also\, Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor saxophone) join the group\, instigating a new wave of excitement and anticipation. These new voices are re-energizing their sound and inspiration. The Bad Plus have constantly searched to bridge genres and techniques. Additionally\, they explore the infinite possibilities of exceptional musicians working in perfect sync. \nThe Bad Plus released their fifteenth studio album\, self-titled as a dynamic new quartet\, in 2022. Evolution is necessary for life and creativity\,” said Dave King and Reid Anderson. “We’ve evolved\, but we’re still The Bad Plus.” \nThis is The Bad Plus in their most creative and expressive form. This is The Bad Plus now.

SUMMARY:Preservation Hall Jazz Band Presents: A Creole Christmas at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the season as the incomparable Preservation Hall Jazz Band takes the stage with Creole Christmas. This memorable performance will feature New Orleans classics as well as beloved holiday selections with a twist. Founded in 1963\, the band takes its name from Preservation Hall\, the humble but historic French Quarter music venue. There\, Preservation Hall is dedicated to keeping the past and future of jazz alive. \nThroughout its history\, New Orleans has been the point at which sounds and cultures from around the world converge. Further\, they mingle\, resurface\, and are transformed by the Crescent City’s inimitable spirit and joie de vivre. Nowhere is that idea more vividly embodied than in the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Here\, they have held the torch of New Orleans music aloft for more than 60 years. Moreover\, they carry it enthusiastically forward as a reminder that the history they were founded to preserve is a vibrant\, living history.  \nPHJB marches that tradition forward by tapping into a sonic continuum that stretches back to the city’s Afro-Cuban roots. They look back to the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti and the Fire Music of Pharoah Sanders and John Coltrane. Then\, they look forward to cutting-edge artists with whom the PHJB have shared festival stages from Coachella to Newport. They have shared the stage with legends like Stevie Wonder\, Elvis Costello and the Grateful Dead. Also\, modern giants The Foo Fighters\, My Morning Jacket\, Arcade Fire and the Black Keys.
