Something about their name told me this Jazz quartet had something edgy and original to present in their music. BADBADNOTGOOD presents an EP which compiles their previously released songs and covers, available as a free download.

BADBADNOTGOOD cover interesting territory in their approach to music which is bound to be an enlightening experience for the traditional Jazz lover. "Untitled - Nightmare - Yonkers" flows with mysterious vibes to groovy Rhodes-laced jazz rhythms while their cover of "Electric Relaxation" mixes traditional Jazz with the funk drumming of Hip Hop as the band draws influences from both Tribe and Ronnie Foster.

Each song shows the forward-thinking yet traditional Jazz approach of BADBADNOTGOOD as they present a variety of experimental compositions, while playing with exciting new ideas of rhythm and incorporation of their own melodic influences in covering classic Hip Hop tunes.

The bandcamp stream has 6 out of 12 songs included in the EP, more treats you will find in the download are their Jazz covers of Gangstarr's "Mass Appeal" Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Brooklyn Zoo" and more songs.
