5.0 out of 5 stars New jazz at its best..., April 7 2004
This review is from: A Livingroom Hush (Audio CD)
What is happening in Norway? Following on from Bugge Wesseltoft's "New Conceptions of Jazz" releases comes this even better CD that really does expand the horizons of where jazz is in 2002! From its stand-out opening number - "Animal Chin", with its driving "drum & bass" back-beats and wonderfully "frantic" but controlled multi-layered riffs - the whole album just rolls along through a series of superbly played, tightly structured and often highly innovative tracks. Fusing the rhythms & break sequences used by club DJ's, new wave electronica and the chord progressions of "traditional" modern jazz, "A Living Room Hush" is that rarest of things: an album that dares to push itself beyond accepted boundaries while remaining totally listenable to.

Good enough to stand comparison to Weather Report's & The Mahavishnu Orchestra's similarly ground-breaking "cross-over" explorations in the 1970's, but devoid of their jarring excesses, Jaga Jazzist's first outing will challenge you and then insidiously etch itself into your memory banks to demand repeat listening. Having, justifiably, received "rave" reviews on its, initially restricted, local release this album now sits here waiting for you to discover it. If you really do want to know - and enjoy - where creative new jazz is going look no further!

5.0 out of 5 stars Livingroom Jaga - superintelligent music supply!, July 31 2003
By 
This review is from: A Livingroom Hush (Audio CD)
Jaga Jazzist's album 'Livingroom Hush' is for those who are interested in
new complicated sound forms coming from the North. It is a true challenge. Born
by passionate overdeveloped minds and cleverly designed to take the neophyte
ones to a new level.

Not exactly hushed, as you might expect. It gathers both live instrumental acts with
advanced programming that makes it quite an experience for the listener.

Jaga's music is absolutely organic. Very rhythmic, very original, very complex. It's excitingly jazzy and
experimental. Bass clarinets give an unforgettable shape and form of it all. The drums offer to you
a true feast. Coming a long way from Norway, Jaga Jazzist's experimental act is definitely one of the
boldest Ninja Tune recruits.

Muscular, brainy and daring.

Killer tracks: Animal Chin, Midget.
Personal Favourites: Airborne, Low Battery, Lithuania.

4.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate new conception of jazz, Mar 4 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: A Livingroom Hush (Audio CD)
This stuff is absolutely exciting. A Livingroom Hush must be one of the best nu jazz records I've heard. And hey, I just found out that there is a new record coming out! Don't miss this.
