Jaga Jazzist has become something of a musical phenomenon in Norway since they started nine years ago. Not only is this ten-piece instrumental band regarded as one of the most exciting and innovative in Norway, the members are all involved in other musical projects and have in one way or another contributed to almost every significant recording to come out of that part of the world in the last few years. It has been this involvement with different projects, and different musical styles and sounds, which is the key to the unique sound of Jaga Jazzist. With no boundaries, and an arsenal that includes trumpets, trombone, electric guitar, bass, tuba, two bass clarinets, Fender Rhodes, vibraphone, and a rack of electronics, Jaga Jazzist create timeless music. Melodic, hypnotizing, delicate, and subtle. "The Stix" combines the digital-dancefloor-jiggery-pokery of their debut with the exuberance, warmth, and fluidity of their live shows. With their stylish productions, their infectious live shows, and their Hoxton/Oslo/Berlin good looks, they are rapidly becoming one of the most eligible bands on the block.
