5 BadBadNotGood – IV
BadBadNotGood are
present day jazz renegades. This is up front music with one finger on the pulse
of trip hop, another on the heartbeat of electronica, with a confident nod to
the breaks of hip hop. The album is a glorious, uninhibited foray into a modern
take on jazz. When Blue Note Records were releasing their catalogue in the 60s
or artists like Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane and Miles Davis were coming to
the fore, it must have been incredible to be discovering this astounding new
music. BBNG capture a fresh excitement of jazz and no doubt there is a whole
new, younger audience who are coming across and falling in love with the music, discovering and being amazed. Jazz
has for a long time had a slightly elitist feel, so for the genre to be spreading
out and being explored by a newly initiated and eager audience is a beautiful
thing. When I saw them recently at The Electric in Brixton, they name
checked Kamasi Washington (See HSD Top 10 2016 - no.9) amongst others and there is a thriving
jazz scene developing right now. It is happening. Get on board!!
