19:00 | Jazz Rooftop Festival: BadBadNotGood (Canada) |
|

 The first Jazz Rooftop Festival, the festival of experimental, relevant, non-standard jazz music, features a Canadian jazz-hop trio BadBadNotGood (BBNG), Russian contemporary brass-band 1/2 Orchestra with Kotzi Brown, and the most unusual Russian beatboxer Galun with his Amur Tiger Arkestra. BadBadNotGood (Toronto, Ontario) started with an YouTube video. Three young men flipped Odd Future songs into a jazz medley in an abandoned apartment. The drummer wore a pig mask. Toronto musicians Matthew A. Tavares, Chester Hansen and Alex Sowinski met in Humber College's Music Performance program, bonding over a common love for Odd Future, Gucci Mane and Lil B. Millions of video hits later, the newly christened Badbadnotgood released their self-titled EP in 2011. Tavares' virtuosity on keys, Sowincki's human drum machine prowess and Hansen's in-pocket swing on bass redefined the possibilities of what a trio could do. Inspired equally by Lil B and John Coltrane, Badbadnotgood found the post-bop in Big Apple classics ("The World Is Yours," "Mass Appeal"), Zelda themes or the off-kilter electronic soundscapes of Flying Lotus. In just a few years together, they have collaborated with rapper Tyler, the Creator, opened for legend Roy Ayers and headlined a performance in London for Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Award show. BBNG plans to release their third album in 2014. Paula Mejia, in a Prefix magazine review, called BadBadNotGood "a jazz trio on paper - but often strange, forever imaginative, and ultimately revolutionary hip-hop and electronic beatmakers at heart." Now magazine's Anupa Mistry has lauded BBNG's "spastic, sonorous, genre-fucking rap covers." Jerell Tongson, in describing BadBadNotGood's hip hop influences, wrote that the group "deconstruct the four bar loops, understanding how to work crescendos by stretching out and reshaping the music into their own vision of silky smooth key progressions, pounding drums, and tasty bass lines."
