Jaga Jazzist , one of the most exciting and original bands I have heard in recent years, are playing at the Village Underground in Hackney tomorrow night, Friday 25th October. Needless to say the majority of the band sport magnificent Nordic beards. That sight alone will be worth the trip, let alone the fantastic music.
‘They are something of a musical phenomenon in Norway since they started 15 years ago. Not only is this 9 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’.
Doors: 9:00pm, Village Underground, 54 Holywell Lane, EC2A 3PQ, London, UK. Book here with Songkick
