06.05.2008 : MATHIAS EICK SOLO DEBUT ON ECM Mathias Eick - The Door (ECM) 'The Door' is his first leader album and a fine showcase for his writing and his musicianship - his exceptional trumpet playing, but also his multi-instrumentalism: he's heard here also on guitar and vibraphone. As a trumpeter Eick has absorbed many influences - he cites Miles, Clifford Brown, Kenny Wheeler, Tomasz Stanko, Arve Henriksen and Nils Petter Molvær as inspirations - and shaped his own language, which incorporates the history of the modern trumpet. Eick has assembled a top flight band for 'The Door'. Pianist Jon Balke is in tremendous form, always finding something fresh to intonate, consistently surprising and imaginative both on acoustic piano and Fender Rhodes. Balke's ECM history goes back 30 years, and recent CDs with the Magnetic North Orchestra and his solo 'Book of Velocities' have been acclaimed. Drummer Audun Kleive also has deep ECM roots - with Terje Rypdal's 'Chasers', Charles Lloyd's touring quartet and with Marilyn Mazur. He works well with bassist Audun Erlien, known to ECM aficionados for Molvaer's 'Solid Ether'. Guest Stian Carstensen, previously on ECM playing accordion on Trygve Seim's 'Different Rivers', is one of very few jazz artists to explore the potential of the pedal steel guitar, and also has his own fan base, largely from his popular band Farmers Market.

The best noise act in Oslo, and possibly the best live show I’ve ever seen, is called Kill. The quartet haven’t released any records because the act is a four-part side project, featuring members of Jaga Jazzist, Single Unit, JR Ewing, and No Place to Hide, all of them pedigreed at some point in hardcore and trash metal type acts.

12.04.2007 : LINE HORNTVETH ON TOUR WITH HANNE HUKKELBERG Jagagirl Line is touring all over Europe these days with Norwegian singer Hanne Hukkelberg whos's 2005 debut album Little Things was a charming impression of life in Oslo, notable for its imaginative use of found sounds and eclectic array of instrumentation. Her elfin but idiosyncratic persona coupled with a lazily seductive voice drew comparisons to everyone from Joanna Newsom and Björk, to Stina Nordenstam and Billie Holliday. Her sophomore album Rykestrasse 68, her first since signing to Canadian label Nettwerk, is a tribute to the six months she recently spent living in Berlin and is far less whimsical, with a moodier, more widescreen production. Like her debut, it was produced by Kåre Vestrheim at Propeller Studios in Oslo and features contributions from the cream of the Norwegian music scene, including members of Jaga Jazzist, Dinosau and Shining.

19.03.2007 : RAVE REVIEW IN SINGAPORE'S BIGGEST NATIONAL PAPER The Straits Times Effortless cool By Yeow Kai Chai WORLD VISION: Norwegian jazz-rocktronica collective Jaga Jazzist was a joyous riot of hipster style and genre-fusing ingenuity. JAGA Jazzist gives globalisation a good name. While growing world interconnectivity may have sparked off angry street protests elsewhere, the only sparks emitted by some ferocious Vikings at the Esplanade were of love, joy and endless fun. They conquered hearts and minds and set people free. You'd be gobsmacked by their genre-fusing vision where impossible is nothing (to steal from a shoe company's smart inversion of a familiar saying). Call them the best little big secret this year's Mosaic has to offer. The 10-member Norwegian jazz-rocktronica collective wooed a largely unsuspecting 800-strong turnout who were intrigued by press comparisons to hipsters such as Talk Talk, Stereolab and Aphex Twin. Nothing could have prepared one for Jaga's heady 14-track, 100-minute set. Here was a phantasmagoria of instruments that came alive in the hands (and mouths) of these affable preppie youths who looked as if they had just sauntered in from a university campus. Yes, these folks are cool without having to scrawl on kohl eyeliner or pierce any part of their anatomy. The same goes for their opening act, Singapore's very own experimenters The Observatory. They gave a hint of where they are going with a four-track teaser (the shape-shifter When I See A Fire is a standout) from their forthcoming album, A Far Cry From Here. Their Norwegian counterparts could well be excellent career mentors. Jaga Jazzist - 'jaga' apparently means 'to bend' in Old Norse - excel in sidestepping conventions. They go heavy-metal loud, pastoral soft, shoegazing intimate, prog-rock epic - sometimes all in the same song. Take the incredible All I Know Is Tonight, taken off their latest album What We Must, which sounds even bolder when performed live. The spy-thriller atmospherics and thunderous rock precision were orchestrated to shards of blinding white light - one second, Martin Horntveth attacked the drums as if there was no tomorrow; the next Andreas Mjos skittered away on the marimba in an interlude of music-box prettiness. There were other highlights: Sigur Ros-like beauty, as in Swedenborgske Rom, which was buoyed by wordless choral purring; and mysterious horns and keys conspiring in I Have A Ghost, Now What?. A breathtaking feat this was, considering how the whole ambition just seemed to insinuate itself without any arty self-importance and eventually compelled the famously sedentary Singapore crowd to stand up in awe. Caught up perhaps in this round of worldly camaraderie, the very funny Horntveth re-named one song, Oslo Skyline, as Singapore Skyline, to great whoops from the crowd. If this is one perk of globalisation, can we have more, please?

08.01.2007 : RAVE UK REVIEWS FOR ADJAGAS One of the foremost exponents of the new wave of Sami acts, Adjagas are finally releasing their debut album internationally this January produced by Jaga Jazzist multi-instrumentalist, Andreas Mjøs.The first UK reviews are now in and make for some very positive reading. Adjagas has garnered rave reviews in the domestic press for their self-titled debut album released in Norway last year through Trust Me Records. Now the release has been licensed to !K7 subsidiary Ever Records which launches the album on the European market in January 2007. The first reviews from the UK music press are now in and it’s safe to say that they are indeed positive. Both Time Out and The Wire magazine praise the album’s many qualities: Time Out’s Chris Parkin writes: Such is the intensity on this record you wouldn’t believe Adjagas has only two members. Norwegian from Sámi families – the indigenous people of northern Scandinavia – they feed their folk tradition into a mesmeric mix that sounds like Sigur Rós reared on alt-americana. Part of this tradition is yoik singing – making sounds rather than words - and this debut is an enchanting snapshot of another world that will keep you going back for more. (5/6) Read more HERE

14.04.2006 : SIV & KNUT - EN KJÆRLIGHETSHISTORIE Høsten 2003 fortalte Dagbladet Magasinet historien om kjæresteparet Knut og Siv, begge to narkomane og hjemløse. Deres eneste mål var å skaffe nok penger til heroin og morfin, og paret levde sitt liv på gata i Oslo. Likevel ønsket Knut og Siv å gifte seg. I en periode på fire måneder tigget Knut 14.000 kroner for å gi Siv drømmebryllupet hennes. Magasinets reportasje fra bryllupet ble opptakten til en unik dokumentarserie. Regissør Are Faaberg har i etterkant fulgt Siv og Knut i over to år. Det hardt prøvede ekteparet byr på seg selv på godt og vondt, og vi får et innblikk i deres fortvilte hverdag, men også grenseløse kjærlighet overfor hverandre. Musikken er skrevet av Martin Horntveth. Dette er Martin's første oppdrag for TV og han har gapt høyt over alle slags musikkstiler. Musikken spenner fra "Neil Youngsk" asfalt-rock via pianojazz og metal til romantisk strykemusikk. SE SIV & KNUT PÅ NETT HER: Følg med fra 17. april og alt i alt seks mandager fremover på NRK 22.15

05.12.2005 : CREAM OF THE CROP TURNÉ En av 2003s største overaskelser på festivalfronten var Cream of the Crop med medlemmer fra Home Groan, Jaga Jazzist, Motorpsycho, Hellbillies, Thom Hell Band og Askil Holm Band på Øya Festivalen. De spilte til terningkast seks i Dagbladet. Siden den tid har de blant annet i det siste headlinet på Månefestivalen, Kongsberg Jazz Festival, Varangerfestivalen og Nordland Musikkfestuke. Og skal vi tro hva vi hører har bandet bare blitt bedre. Cream Of The Crop er et band tuftet på respekten for en mann: Martin Hagfors. Hans arbeid opp gjennom årene har knyttet seg nært opp til en kjærlighet til musikken fremfor blikk til profitten. Denne respekten har kommet til gjennom arbeid i en rekke band (Home Groan, Groan Alone og HGH), samt som produsent eller låtskriver for andre musikere. Dermed er Cream Of The Crop blitt et reellt stjernelag fra norsk musikkliv. Det er aldri noen tvil om hvem som styrer skuta. Hovedpersonen utstråler styrke og selvtillit på en fabelaktig tilbakelent måte. I all sin jordnærhet er han fantastisk til stede med blikk, replikker og sin gudegave; stemmen.

30.05.2005 : GREAT 4 STARS REVIEW IN MOJO "Ten-piece Nordic collective present their "rock" album. Once famed only as the land of Eurovision duds, Norway continues to offer up musical surprises. The remarkable Jaga Jazzist are a long-standing fixture, but lately they've rethought their direction - dropping the Jazzist from their name and most of the jazz from their sound. Instead of sequencers and Zappa-like quirkiness comes a direct, powerful instrumental music, part prog rock, part post rock (first tried out on in a session included on a bonus album here). The opening track of the album proper, All I Know Is Tonight, sets the tone - layered guitars, a big filmic theme and pulsing Mellotron all orchestrated in a dramatic everything-but-the-kitchen-sink production. From then on they deploy their vast arsenal - rock band plus brass and vibes - with taste and imagination over seven tracks. The men from from The Mars Volta rate Jaga their favourite new band, you just might too." (****, John Bungey, MOJO)

16.05.2005 : IMPORTANT INDIE STORE #1 ON BOARD Other Music (NYC) write up in their newsletter : Jaga Jazzist are back with What We Must, a CD that will be the perfect soundtrack for the summer road trip that you're currently planning. The album is made up of seven instrumental jams that are filled with soaring, progressive guitar solos. Think the epic scope of Sigur Ros (crescendos yes, moaning vocals, not so much), a bit of Ratatat's loopy guitar, and a slight tinge of Efterklang's chamber-acoustic-electronic hybrid. Throw in an ode to Weather Report as well. The complete list of instruments used is too long to reprint, but here are a few: marimba, vibraphone, glockenspiel, tamboura, bass clarinet, flute, trombone, trumpet, tuba, mellotron and, of course, the ever-present guitar run through effects. Call it post-rock if you like, fans of the recent Tortoise album will feel right at home here as well. Mood setting, travel inspiring, and expansive. [DG]

14.05.2005 : WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT WHAT WE MUST The german music mag Intro asked several artist about what they thought of the new Jaga Jazzist Album.

Cool!” (Doves) “Something I would listen to while I relax and chill out. Really cool” (Natasha Bedingfield) “Very big cinematic music. Really good” (The Frames)

11.05.2005 : GREAT SUNDAY TIMES REVIEW "For 10 years, this Norwegian collective were a jazz group known as Jaga Jazzist, but they’ve changed their sound and their name. Their new album suggests a 1990s British guitar-effects-pedal-laden band such as Spiritualized or Ride trying to ape 1970s Miles Davis. It has the scope of jazz fusion, but few of the banal sounds associated with it, relying instead on crashing rock guitar chords, shimmering synths and a degree of good taste. Listening to Stardust Hotel, I’m not surprised that Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood is a fan. This is the sound ambitious rock bands wishing they could shake off their shackles hear in their imaginations, but almost never achieve" (Sunday Times)

06.05.2005 : 7/10 + GREAT NME REVIEW "Ten-piece Norwegian jazz outfit they may be, but JJ are completely devoid of any noodle-wankery. If you can`t love a band who mix Aphex style electronica with experimental grooviness like "I Have A Ghost, Now What" then you`re dead, baby" (7/10, Rob Fitzpatrick, NME)

28.01.2005 : Shining: In The Kingdom Of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster Poster: Rune Mortensen, Album cover: Kim Hiorthøy Brand new album (with very hot title!!!) from young quartet counting two former Jaga Jazzist members (Live Andreas Schei from Jaga Jazzist) and writers in their ranks, giving new meaning to the concept of progressive art rock and marking a change in musical direction from their two previous jazz albums. For the first time they use a number of guitars, vintage keyboards, horns and percussion instruments, but forget about endless synth soloing and long symphonic excursions leading nowhere. This is young, fresh and vital music with a strong sense of direction, bridging the gap between classic King Crimson and ECM lyricism. Released 24.01.05 on Rune Grammofon Release concert 24.01.05 at Blå

27.09.2004 : ....NEARLY A PERFECT 10, THEN MAGAZINE REVIEW IN PLAN B "Cold, clammy and 10 in number, the rangy cooperative Jaga Jazzist reissue their 1998 debut for the first time outside their native Norway. Where rock, dance and jazz battle for supremacy, Jaga crawl like tortoise and John Barry scoring seedy spy soundtracks amid massive smog clouds emerging from cigarettes your mother would never allow through her door. Theirs is a frenzied rush of saxophone hedonism and seriously swinging bas-li
