BADBADNOTGOOD share bonus track "Best Left Unsolved" and announce Blue Note residency

This new, previously unreleased track accompanies the trio’s recent surprise release of the Mid Spiral suite: Chaos, Order and Growth, which features BADBADNOTGOOD members Al Sow, Chester Hansen and Leland Whitty joined by their close friends and collaborators, BADBADNOTGOOD touring member Felix Fox-Pappas (keys), Toronto jazz musicians Kaelin Murphy (trumpet), Juan Carlos Medrano Magallenes (percussion) and LA musician Tyler Lott (guitar).

The trio has also announced today that across 16-19 September they’ll perform eight shows at New York City’s legendary Blue Note Jazz Club. Accompanied by the players that joined the trio in the Mid Spiral studio sessions, BADBADNOTGOOD will perform music from their expansive catalog, the Mid Spiral suite and roll out a week of special guests across the residency.

Since the release of BADBADNOTGOOD’s late-2021 acclaimed album Talk Memory, the group has been steady at work: the alt-jazz ensemble received their fifth GRAMMY nomination at this years awards, in January they released “Take What’s Given” featuring emerging Houston vocalist reggie, which followed a string of one-off singles with collaborators including Charlotte Day Wilson on “Sleeper,” 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE, Westside Gunn plus Conway The Machine on “MiNt cHoCoLaTe” and Jonah Yano on “the ordinary is ordinary because it ordinarily repeats.”

Further, BADBADNOTGOOD contributed to Daniel Caesar’s 2023 album Never Enough, worked with rising artist Elmiene on an edit of his single “Marking My Time” and contributed to the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense tribute album with a cover of “This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)” with Norah Jones.
