BADBADNOTGOOD - III LP

BADBADNOTGOOD have challenged the rule book on improvised instrumental music and taken jazz tradition into the future. With early champions including acclaimed BBC broadcaster Gilles Peterson and Tyler The Creator who helped fuel their discovery with a series of live jams that instantly went viral and dubbed them the 'Odd Trio', the band released their first EP BBNG in June 2011 to wide praise.

Tracklist:
1 Triangle
2 Can't Leave the Night
3 Confessions (Feat. Leland Whitty)
4 Kaleidoscope
5 Eyes Closed

7 Differently, Still
8 Since You Asked Kindly

The marriage of jazz virtuosity and hip hop source material offered a fresh take on the traditional 'standard' applied to hip hop classics by taking on choice cuts from the golden era rap cannon and writing inspired arrangements for them instead of one-dimensional covers. The band hit a landmark by introducing original material into their compositions with BBNG2 in 2012. New songs like 'Rotten Decay', 'Vices' or 'UWM' carried on the proud heritage of musical juxtaposition by bringing together jazz, hip hop, punk, and dance music into vigorous balance. Since then, they've won praise from the four corners of the globe and collaborated with Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, MF Doom, Pharaoh Monch and RZA among many. Their notorious live performances have brought fans across the whole musical spectrum together, taking the band around the world from Coachella to Glastonbury.
