About This Item
BadBadNotGood is the talented young quartet of Matthew Tavares on keys, Chester Hansen on bass, Alex Sowinski on drums and Leland Whitty on saxophone. They formed and became inseparable friends at Humber College's Music Performance program in 2011 and have been on a critically acclaimed, rule bending musical journey ever since. BBNG took the music world by storm with their 2014 LP, III, a brash yet refined record of angular jazz improvisations, rich ballads, kraut rock, and futuristic hip-hop tinged rhythms which led to a couple years of touring the world and collaborating with some of the best and brightest artists around the globe. Now the boys are back with the new album IV, their most impressive and highly anticipated project yet. IV continues their forward thinking progression, sounding something like a jam session in space between Can, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock's Headhunters, Weather Report, Arthur Russell and MF Doom. With tracks like InchTime Moves SlowInch featuring haunting vocals from Sam Herring of Future Islands, the syncopated groove of InchLavender,Inch a collaboration with Montreal based producerKaytranada, the rumbling fusion build of InchConfessions Pt. IIInch featuring Colin Stetson on the bass sax, InchLoveInch which is highlighted with smokey left field raps from Mick Jenkins and the epic chords of InchSpeaking Gently,Inch IV is an exploration in post-genre virtuosity.
