ABOUT BADBADNOTGOOD

Canadian ensemble BadBadNotGood made their name by crossing genre. This seamless movement between style hit hard when they took hip hop into jazz and vice versa. 

BadBadNotGood formed in 2010, moving between three and four members before establishing its current line up in 2015. The band, aka Alexander Sowinski (drums), Chester Hansen (bass) and Leland Whitty (guitar and woodwinds), met on the Humber College jazz program in Toronto. At the time, instead of working with traditional jazz standards, the group sidestepped and drew from hip hop and other contemporary genres to create a unique sound.

Their latest release Mid Spiral exploits instrumental jazz at its core seeing BADBADNOTGOOD continue to push the boundaries of how they integrate a limitless range of genres and musicianship into their
compositions. For the Valentine sessions, the trio invited additional musicians to join their ensemble in order to provide more voices of instrumentation, resulting in a deeply collaborative and expansive new sound. BADBADNOTGOOD took Mid Spiral to the stage making appearances at festivals including Primavera Sound, Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Elsewhere Fest, Rose On The River Festival, Outside Lands, Bumbershoot, Life Is Beautiful, Corona Capital and more.

Since the release of BADBADNOTGOOD’s late-2021 acclaimed album Talk Memory, the group has been steady at work: the alt-jazz ensemble received their fifth GRAMMY nomination at this years awards, in January they released 'Take What’s Given' featuring emerging Houston vocalist reggie, which followed a string of one-off singles with collaborators including Charlotte Day Wilson on 'Sleeper,' 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE, Westside Gunn plus Conway The Machine on 'MiNt cHoCoLaTe' and Jonah Yano on 'the ordinary
is ordinary because it ordinarily repeats.' Further, BADBADNOTGOOD contributed to Daniel Caesar’s 2023
album Never Enough, worked with rising artist Elmiene on an edit of his single 'Marking My Time' and contributed to the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense tribute album with a cover of 'This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)' with Norah Jones.
