What is BADBADNOTGOOD concert?
On August 15, 2024, Ottawa will be treated to a night of musical exploration as BADBADNOTGOOD concert takes the stage at Southam Hall, National Arts Centre. This Toronto-based jazz ensemble has carved a niche by blending ’70s soul-jazz, alternative hip-hop, and experimental electronica, creating a sound that is as innovative as it is engaging.
Known for their ability to traverse genres, BADBADNOTGOOD began their journey by reinterpreting hip-hop tracks from artists like Odd Future and MF Doom with a jazz twist. Their early albums, BBNG (2011) and BBNG2 (2012), showcased their talent for covering a range of artists, from A Tribe Called Quest to My Bloody Valentine, and helped them gain a dedicated following.
As they evolved, the band began focusing more on their original compositions while collaborating with notable names in the music industry, including Ghostface Killah, Kaytranada, Little Dragon, and even Kendrick Lamar. Their 2016 album, IV, marked a significant shift as it introduced more original work, blending their distinct jazz influences with elements of hip-hop and neo-soul. In 2021, they expanded their musical horizons even further with the release of Talk Memory, an album that delves into fusion, new age, and orchestral music.
Their performance at the NAC is set to feature tracks from their latest release, MID SPIRAL, a continuation of their journey into uncharted musical territories. The album is already being praised for its inventive compositions and intricate arrangements, promising an unforgettable live experience.
