		Jaga Jazzist are indeed a musical one off who's arsenal includes trumpets, trombone, electric guitar, bass, tuba, two bass clarinets, Fender Rhodes and vibraphone, and it is the mixture of these instruments with a sometimes harsh electronic edge that really makes the music stand out.

		Not only is this 10 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 five years.

		Although they’ve been a relative unknown on this side of the Atlantic, Norway’s Jaga Jazzist have spent the past ten years honing their deft blend of jazzy, melodic post-rock and thumping electronic programming.
		Admittedly, subtlety might not necessarily be Jaga Jazzist’s method of choice, but there still is something to be said for more understated approaches and textures.
		One would hope that in the future Jaga Jazzist will slow down and explore some of the neglected corners in the basement of their composition, or rely less on busy arrangements to convey a full effect.

		Jaga Jazzist has become something of a musical phenomenon in Norway since they started 9 years ago.
		As with their first album this was produced by Norwegian superproducer Jørgen Træen the man behind Duper Studios in Bergen (home of Røyksopp, Kings of Convenience, Sondre Lerche et.al.) but this time Jaga wanted to push their musical limits even further and really create a sound they could genuinely call “Jaga Jazzist “.
		The proof of their efforts is in the record “The Stix”, the perfect balance between (hu)man and machine it never looses the organic nature of a live 10 piece.

		Take Jaga Jazzist, ten dishevelled Norwegians crammed onto the Garage stage with all of their horns, drums, vibes, guitars, samplers, effects units, tambourines and randomly distributed bits of facial hair.
		As their name suggests, Jaga Jazzist are a jazz band, but one with an eclecticism, attack and untrammelled joy that even long-term jazz-phobes may find tough to equate with their prejudices.
		If the bands and styles they recall are often misunderstood as dour and over-serious, Jaga Jazzist are a multi-dimensional riot, as all the avant-garde and marginalised practises which they draw on are streamlined into this huge, compelling sound.

	Jaga Jazzist - What We Must : album review
		Jaga Jazzist are a ten-piece Norwegian band in which all members are given free-reign to express themselves equally with as much, or as little, flamboyance and enthusiasm as they wish.
		Okay, certain moments mimic a cheesy seventies European film soundtrack but even the odd hint of lounge muzak is strangely endearing, contrasted as it is with other emotions and atmospheres, the sweetness of Mikado's plinking xylophone kitsch offset by darker blasts of edgy psychedelic rock for example.
		While Jaga Jazzist may not be able to match the Polyphonic Spree for numbers they do match them ecstatic crescendo for ecstatic crescendo, minus the happy clappy lyrics of course.

		A Livingroom Hush is the debut by Norwegian jazz/electronics outfit Jaga Jazzist, released in the United Sates on Ninjatune a year later.
		A Livingroom Hush is simply one of the most enigmatic outings to ever come out of either genre (and how many times can you say that?).
		Jaga Jazzist is the very first group -- with no disrespect to Cinematic Orchestra -- to successfully meld the lineages of the electronic frontier with big band jazz aesthetics.

		On their second album, the Norwegian group Jaga Jazzist spend 10 songs and 53 minutes tying fusion, modern jazz, and IDM into a package that triangulates among digital skitter, Scandinavian cool, and prog-rock grandeur.
		It’s ground that’s been well trod by groups like Isotope 217 and fellow Europeans like Nils Peter Molvaer, but this 10-piece have their own take on jazzy electronica that’s a compelling mix of Mahavishnu Orchestra bluster and Squarepusher skitter.
		Despite a particular Northern European fussiness — if anything, the album is over-composed — Jaga Jazzist turn out a restless and rigorous brand of laptop jazz that confidently reproduces the man/machine interface.

		The growing reputation of Norway's Jaga Jazzist means that there is now a demand for their first album which was only previously available in their native country.

		Pop What We Must, the brilliant new album from Norway’s Jaga Jazzist, in the computer and there it is: “Genre: Unclassifiable.” To be fair, every group is influenced by somebody, but read reviews and you’ll see everyone from Aphex Twin to Radiohead to Charles Mingus crop up as reference points for this 10-piece band.
		Not afraid to tackle any genre, Jaga Jazzist defines the word “collective,” substituting solos for a more communal sound that’s the musical equivalent of walking in an active minefield.
		Maybe it’s all the side projects everyone is in that allows each member to explore their individual sound, leaving egos out of the Jaga Jazzist equation.

		The brilliance of Jaga Jazzist's first album, "A Living Room Hush", lay in its inspired marriage of new wave "electronica" and traditional jazz chord sequences.
		As Jaga Jazzist continue their mission of deconstructing the world of electronic music through their melding of jazz, rock, and the ether in between, their 2nd full-length demonstrates further honing of their musical craft.
		The same overall timbre applies to this next offering from Jaga Jazzist, but with fuller, more poignant tunes and a better weighting of the electric, band and rock elements.
