For those of you who like Jazz, I commend you. It’s one of the genres that’s a passing fancy nowadays, dominated only by big, dead names like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk and others. I grew up listening to jazz, it was my first genre I ever really explored and it still remains my absolute favorite type of music. It gets you in the mood, it helps you study, it can be fun, contemplative, and sometimes raunchy if need be. So, no doubt when I heard about BADBADNOTGOOD, a jazz trio from Toronto, I was psyched to see what they offered, not only in terms of listenability, but with what new concepts they brought to change the game. With “BBNG” and “BBNG2”, freeform hip-hop, post-punk, and even Legend of Zelda covers were found within seconds of putting the record on. But as these guys evolved they put their efforts into making some pretty decent original singles, and with that evolution comes “III”.
