Jaga Jazzist

Norway’s Jaga Jazzist are a 10-member instrumental ensemble who, individually and collectively, have contributed to almost every significant recording to come out of that country in the last few years. With eclectic instrumentation and musical influences ranging from Soft Machine to Eric Satie and from John Coltrane to Stereolab and Radiohead, Jaga Jazzist are a fusionist free-for-all, who are by turns melodic, hypnotic, delicate, and dance-floor demented. Noted for their dynamic live performances, Jaga Jazzist are headliners in Europe whose sell-out shows are an exhilarating and inspiring immersion in a sonically textured post-rock world of jazz-meets-electronica.

“There are very few bands which can satisfy the demands of the free jazz avant garde and the dancefloor crew, but Jaga Jazzist manage it.” -Birmingham Post
