BADBADBADNOTGOOD is the talented young quartet of Matthew Tavares on keys, Chester Hansen on bass, Alex Sowinski on drums & 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, lush ballads, kraut rock, & futuristic hip-hop tinged rhythms which led to a couple years of touring the world & collaborating with some of the best and brightest artists around the globe. 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 & MF DOOM. With tracks like “Time Moves Slow” featuring haunting vocals from Sam Herring of Future Islands, the syncopated groove of “Lavender,” a collaboration with Montreal based producer Kaytranada, the rumbling fusion build of “Confessions Pt. II” featuring Colin Stetson on the bass sax, “Love” which is highlighted with smokey left field raps from Mick Jenkins & the epic chords of “Speaking Gently,” IV is an exploration in post-genre virtuosity. Out Summer 2016 on Innovative Leisure Records, BBNG prove yet again that the possibilities & discovery in their musical quest are infinite.

Incredible album!
Like many others, I found out about this album and BADBADNOTGOOD in general from their song, “Time Moves Slow”, but this entire album is fantastic!

AMAZING STUFF HERE
One of the best albums I have ever listened to. I love jazz fusion, particularly bands like Medeski Martin & Wood. These young tykes are KILLING IT right now. When I listen to this album I imagine Badbadnotgood to be in their 60's smoking large cigars in their bathtowels of course. They sound like they have been playing together for decades. When in reality they are young enough to be my children. Highly recommend getting this on vinyl, it is well worth the cost.

These guys are all over the place and that's a good thing. They have a track that covers all ...
Only got this album because I heard the song In Your Eyes on Spotify Radio and the rest is history. These guys are all over the place and that's a good thing. They have a track that covers all the popular genres that are trending. You can safely listen to this record without having no knowledge of jazz or anything else for that matter. It's just all about the music and feeling the vibe and as music listener that's all we ever want.

So good
This band plays exactly what I love...jazz with the right amount of pop. Instrumental genius with a nice splash of simplicity. So intense but so mellow.
