(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsReception[edit]Track listing[edit]Personnel[edit]References[edit]Reception[edit]Thom Jurek in his review for AllMusic stated, ” Activate Infinity is a canny, wildly creative expression of the Bad Plus’ collective persona; it’s inspired, sophisticated, fresh, and a joy to encounter, time and again.”[2] Mike Hobart of Financial Times stated, “The set is bookended by Reid Anderson\u2019s ear-friendly melodies. Here, closely worked voicings and clatter and whumpf drumming stick close to the core The Bad Plus aesthetic, with \u201cAvail\u201d and \u201cSlow Reactors\u201d opening the album at a rocking pace, and \u201cLove is the Answer\u201d closing with a bittersweet mood. At the album’s centre, core values follow a less predictable path with two compositions apiece from Evans and King.”[4] Writing for The Times Chris Pearson commented, “Ethan Iverson\u2019s departure from the Bad Plus last year caused much anxiety. After 17 years, could this acoustic jazz-rock trio survive losing their pianist? The fears were unfounded, not only because Iverson\u2019s replacement, Orrin Evans, is such a good fit, but also because the star soloist is in fact the drummer, Dave King. Someone has to fill the voids between those rigid riffs \u2014 King does it superbly.”[6]A. D. Amorosi of JazzTimes noted “…the all-original Activate Infinity finds Evans mashing his own sinister soulfulness into swift Monk-like runs (\u201cAvail\u201d), playful Guaraldi-isms (\u201cThrift Store Jewelry\u201d) and pastoral Bruce Hornsby-ish themes (\u201cThe Red Door\u201d) without losing sight of his unique tone. King, meanwhile, is an absolute monster.”[7] Writing for DownBeat Jim Macnie mentioned, “One Bad Plus tenet remains intact: Their chemistry still can thrill. How the band moves from carefree jaunt to floating extroversion is jazz magic. Filled with intra-group wiles, Activate Infinity reminds listeners that these guys need only to rely on themselves.”[3] John Shand of The Sydney Morning Herald added, “Perhaps Evans emphasises the band’s eccentricity slightly less than did Iverson, but in return he builds greater suppleness into the sound; a jazzy fluidity that re-contextualizes the back-beat music. The recording quality is exquisite, and the Edition label continues to grow in significance.”[5]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Track listing[edit]TitleWriter(s)1.“Avail”Anderson3:152.“Slow Reactors”Anderson5:523.“Thrift Store Jewelry”King4:474.“The Red Door”Evans4:035.“Looking in Your Eyes”Evans3:596.“Dovetail Nicely”King5:077.“Undersea Reflection”Anderson3:008.“Love Is the Answer”Anderson7:35Total length:37:34Personnel[edit]References[edit]^ Di Tommaso, Emmanuel (July 15, 2020). “The Bad Plus: Activate Infinity album review @ All About Jazz”.
