BADBADNOTGOOD – Talk Memory

BadBadNotGood is a Canadian instrumental music group from Toronto. They generally eschews being called a jazz band, acknowledging that their music contains elements of rock music, Brazilian music, electronic music, and soul music, and does not maintain jazz tradition. BBNG’s relationship with the style is further complicated by the fact that the jazz community at large sees the group as outside of the genre but more mainstream music fans, those with less knowledge of the tradition and musicianship, perceive them to be jazz and representative of a bright future for the genre because of their accessibility. Talk Memory is their fifth  album, released on October 8, 2021. It is the band’s first album in five years and it received favorable review from critics, with opinions of the album ranging from “virtuosic” to that of “considered jam sessions.”
