GSL is extremely proud to announce the debut U.S. release from Oslo, Norway's critically-acclaimed JAGA JAZZIST.

Licensed to Ninja Tune after its highly acclaimed release on Smalltown Supersound, this excellent outfit features members from the Norwegian jazz, improv and electronics scene to make up what is akin to the Charles Mingus big band for the 23rd century.
