BADBADNOTGOOD

Canadian Jazz collective, BADBADNOTGOOD, emerged in 2010 with what they thought was just a Youtube video of them fooling around on some hip-hop covers. Before they knew it, they were collaborating with Wu-Tang Clan legend, Ghostface Killah on 'Sour Soul,' and Snoop Dogg's 'Lavender - Night Fall Remix.' BBNG is a Canadian instrumental band from Toronto, known for their unique blend of jazz and hip-hop. Over a decade later, they just released their sixth studio album, "Mid Spiral," released in 2024; a product of their brimming creative energy. Having just come off a run of one-off international tour dates and a series of sessions for projects with artists Daniel Cesar, Charlotte Day Wilson, reggie, Baby Rose, Arthur Verocai, and Turnstile, the Canadian-trio of Al Sow, Chester Hansen and Leland Whitty were eager to get back into the studio to create.  The trio called on some of their closest friends and collaborators, BADBADNOTGOOD touring member Felix Fox-Pappas (keys) and a few key-players in the Toronto jazz scene including Kaelin Murphy (trumpet), Juan Carlos Medrano Magallenes (percussion) and LA musician Tyler Lott (guitar), for an intensive and productive one-week of recording at Valentine Studios in Los Angeles in February 2024. The result is the Mid Spiral suite: Chaos, Order and Growth, released across three weeks (May 15, 22, and 29).
