Changing an instrument within a fixed trio formula implies a sensible change, especially when it comes to the main melodic motor. The Bad Plus is on the second album since pianist Orrin Evans replaced Ethan Iverson in 2018.

Oriented towards the new direction, the three remarkable musicians complement each other in an abundance of spirit and creativity, producing one of the best appeared under this name. The group becomes a single organism and manifests itself vigorously, safely and with great imagination. The joy is clear, as is the vision, as in all the 18 years of adventure and refusal of the conventional, with an added refinement. The Bad Plus built their original repertoire according to their own rules, becoming one of the most powerful trio formulas in jazz nowadays.

"Activate Infinity" reflects the exuberance of the change of composition and it indicates the state of the peak moment the group is going through. In the deeply unbalanced and divided society, such examples of balance and musical taste represent a scruple of health, of order in chaos, the freedom to express something personal, sincere and meaningful, without being constrained by social boundaries. With each member contributing to the composition, "Activate Infinity" sounds variable and concentrated, written individually and produced in a group, as it should sound an authentic modern jazz album.
