Jaga Jazzist is an experimental jazz band from Tonsberg, Norway, that rose to prominence when the BBC named their first official album, A livingroom hush (Smalltown Supersound/Ninja Tune), the best jazz album of 2002. The core of the band are brothers and main songwriters Lars Horntveth and Martin Horntveth.
Go and see a band like Jaga Jazzist a genre-crossing collective of Norwegian multi-instrumentalists who skyrocketed to fame in 2002 when the BBC named A Livingroom Hush jazz album of the year and you expect it to be big.
The list of collaborators included the likes of Nico Muhly and Sufjan Stevens but it was tonight’s show with Norwegian progressive jazz outfit Jaga Jazzist that seemed one of the best fits and likely to yield the greatest results.
