Just when you think we wouldn’t, we could.

Each BDR album starts with a concept, fodder for the musicians and inspiration for the collective’s poets and MCs. For Never Would We, the theme was the insidious nature of denial. In addition to conceptual grounding, the band centers improvisation in its creative process. Accordingly, the initial sessions for Never Would We began with members of the ensemble improvising in studio. As tracks took shape, Joe Pignato, the group’s leader and conceptualist, brought in other players and improvised solo drum and percussion tracks, sending edited versions of the improvisations to other musicians to add their parts, generating new material.
