Jaga Jazzist

Musical Group

Jaga Jazzist is a Norwegian ensemble led by Lars Horntveth, formed in 1994, known for blending jazz, electronics and post-rock into dense, orchestral arrangements.

Reviews on DeBaser note the band as a large ensemble (ten musicians in one review), led by Lars Horntveth. A Livingroom Hush was released on the Ninja Tune label. The group has collaborated or intersected with acts such as Motorpsycho (as discussed in reviews).

DeBaser reviews present Jaga Jazzist as a Norwegian ensemble that mixes jazz, electronics and post-rock into complex, orchestral arrangements. Reviewers praise the band's inventiveness, dense textures and genre-blurring approach. The coverage highlights key albums such as A Livingroom Hush, What We Must, One-Armed Bandit and Starfire.

For:Fans of experimental jazz, post-rock and electronic-influenced music; adventurous listeners seeking orchestral, genre-blurring bands.

 "Jaga Jazzist" is the name of a Norwegian band, composed of ten musicians, who enjoy blending jazz sounds with electronics, venturing into territories seemingly alien to their cultural background, such as indie rock.

 I highly recommend "A Livingroom Hush", released under the Ninja Tune label in 2001, as it is a complete, well-arranged work that offers a clear and satisfying overview of the Jaga Jazzist sound universe.

 I would define it all in one word: GENIUS, because genius is the way this band managed to fit all the ideas (or maybe not even one!?) and once again create a work of great freshness.
