BAD BAD NOT GOOD, jazz and other stylish sounds

Back to Toronto where the Music scene is definitely exciting. Marion Guilbaud, at the microphone of La Playlist de France Inter, spoke a few weeks ago about the Canadian Charlotte Day Wilson who captivated the entire pop planet and her rap satellites.
Another sound this morning, that of Bad Bad Not Good, from Charlotte Day Wilson’s playmates. Bad Bad Not Good, a wacky name for so-called scholarly music, jazz but played here by hip hop enthusiasts.

Bad Band Not Good which was here in tune with the ex MC of the Wu Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah. The jazz group which stood out in its early days by covering songs by Tyler The Creator, has become like their godfather on the hip hop scene. On paper, BBNG is therefore jazz, hybrid, experimental at times but always accessible because above all, wide open to all the good vibrations, those of 70s soul as well as electronica, to draw landscapes new sounds.

BBNG here with Turnstile, an American hardcore punk band and the voice of Blood Orange.

In 2024, Bad Bad Not Good released a triptych album Mid Spiral : Chaos, Order & Growtha reflection on the state of the world, a return to their jazz roots on which they reconciled improvisation and conciseness. And that’s a big difference!

We also hear them on a Tribute Talking Heads with Norah Jones. We are clearly dealing with hyperactive people. Latest fad from Bad Bad Not Good, a new collaboration with one of the most beautiful voices in Brazil, that of Tim Bernardes, the Marvin Gaye of the favelas. A cool and flowing title, Cosmic Dustwith violins like in the cinema and saxophone solo which spins to take off towards the cosmos.

Poeira Cosmica, cosmic dust, unreleased from Bad Bad Not Good with singer Tim Bernardes is in the France Inter playlist.
