"The Bad Plus"

13 Saratoga, CA -- Carriage House
14 Eugene, OR -- John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts
16 Portland, OR -- Crystal Ballroom

20 Tokyo, JP -- Blue Note
21 Yokohama, JP -- Motion Blue
23 Sydney, AU -- The Basement
24 Margaret River, AU -- Watershed Winery

The Portland hit is part of a really happening Jazz Festival: Ornette Coleman is featured.  (We are even on a panel with some heavyweights to discuss Coleman's luminous body of work.)

TBP loves playing Japan!  This will be our third time playing the Tokyo Blue Note, which is a wonderful experience. 

The Basement in Sydney is awesome; we were lucky to snag an early set (locals, research this further). The major festivals at the end should be a blast, too.  We haven't been down under before.

Check Marlo Morgan's advice - especially number seven.
