BADBADNOTGOOD: Live at Celebrate Brooklyn 8/2/18

BADBADNOTGOOD brought their brand of jazzy jams to Celebrate Brooklyn on Thursday evening. A packed house greeted the quartet featuring keyboardist Matthew Tavares, bassist Chester Hanson, drummer Alexander Sowinski and saxophonist Leland Whitty. Best known for their collaborations with hip-hop MCs like Ghostface Killah, Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler, The Creator, this instrumental gig showcased their diverse musical tastes and improvisational freedom. 

Aside from their collaborations with hip-hop artists, I hadn’t heard much of BBNG work, I was surprised by the size of their crowd, and the fact that many in it seemed very familiar with their tracks. This created an unusual dynamic in witnessing hundreds of 20 somethings bopping along to music that sometimes sounded like the the smoother side of early 80’s jazz-rock fusion like Spyro Gyra and David Sanborn. But perhaps everything old is new again for this young jazz ensemble that has only been around since the beginning of this decade. They carved out their own path by rebelling against the jazz curriculum at Humber College in Toronto. Legend has it that they presented a piece to their instructors based on Odd Future’s music which lead to a thumbs-down by the faculty. They then uploaded the piece to YouTube and got the attention of Tyler, The Creator who helped the piece go viral. Since then it’s been a whirlwind for the group as they have jumped between collaborations with hip-hop artists and their own instrumental releases. The result on Thursday night was a show that found the band moving around through different kinds of grooves with plenty of free-floating interplay between the members. They are considered by many to be part of the worlds of jazz and hip-hop, but Sowinski’s drumming frequently brings them into the rock zone as he avoids the lighter, more swinging style of many jazz drummers. The same can be said for the other members of BBNG as well - they all seem to have one foot in jazz while simultaneously having the other in varied and alternating worlds or rock, dance music, hip-hop, and neo-classical. And that - at least for this new listener - seems to be their secret sauce of their success. They kept things moving on Thursday, never staying with one groove or one mode for too long, keeping the audience literally and figuratively on their feet.

Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir at BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn by ERIK MCGREGOR Via Flickr: Reverend Billy And The Stop Shopping Choir, a radical performance collective and a group of self-described "wild anti-consumerist gospel shouters and Earth-loving urban activists." William Talen, a.k.a. Reverend Billy, and his associates target banks and corporations of their choosing that represent societal ills, and stage performance art pieces that disrupt their daily operations. Time will tell what antics they bring to the bandshell, but it is not to be missed. The BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival is one of New York City's longest running, free, outdoor performing arts festivals and is held every summer at the Prospect Park Bandshell. #Art #AtTheBandshell #BRIC #Brooklyn #Earthalujah #Music #NYC #PeacefulResistance #Performance #Photography #RevBilly #ReverendBilly #StopShoppingChoir © Erik McGregor - erikrivas@hotmail.com - 917-225-8963
