At the Queen Elizabeth Theatre
The Vancouver International Jazz Festival presents BADBADNOTGOOD
BADBADNOTGOOD’s expansive music straddles the line between ’70s soul-jazz, alternative hip-hop, and experimental electronica. The Toronto group first gained attention in the early 2010s, playing jazzed-out covers of tracks by the likes of Odd Future, MF Doom and A Tribe Called Quest. Since then, they’ve built a catalogue of vivid, hooky originals and collaborated with hip-hop, dance, and neo-soul artists like Ghostface Killah, Kaytranada, and Kendrick Lamar. On their latest album, 2021’s compositionally complex and melodically adventurous Talk Memory, the group explores fusion, new age, and orchestral influences. With interests, obsessions, and talent this far-ranging, the only place BBNG are content to sit is right in the pocket.
