The core of the band are brothers and main songwriters Lars Horntveth and Martin Horntveth. Martin formed Jaga Jazzist together with Ivar Christian Johansen in 1994 while they still were in their teens. Johansen later left the group to start other projects like Ravi (hip hop). The Horntveth brothers are also prominent figures of the Norwegian pop act The National Bank, besides solo projects.
The band feature trumpets, trombone, electric guitar, bass, tuba, bass clarinets, Fender Rhodes, vibraphone and a rack of electronics, as well as strong melodies and rhythms. Talk Talk, Soft Machine, John Coltrane, Don Cherry, Aphex Twin, Stereolab, Squarepusher and Tortoise are frequently mentioned as sources of inspiration. Jaga Jazzist is widely considered to be one of the premier acts of the so-called nu-jazz movement of Scandinavia.

I can't say I've ever heard anything quite like this. Really cool. Interesting vibe.

Love this infinitely. The start has such a Pat Metheny Group feel to it. Gorgeous airy sound too.

That frenetic point around the 2:15 mark really solidifies the song

i was introduced to the music years ago, before youtube, by one song which i thought was ok, but not enough to buy album, but wasn't really representative of their stuff, for some reason got suggested on youtube just a few days ago, so now i've found their other music the majority being amazing, but i have to hear a few tracks to know. and so I bought three albums of theirs.
truth via music
they're the best, you won't be disappointed.
