5.0 out of 5 stars The finest of Norway's jazz vanguard, 15 April 2003
By Scarfex 1 (Old London Town, Blighty) - See all my reviews
After a few years grooving to the likes of Nils Petter Molvaer and Bugge Wesseltoft, a friend from Norway turned me on to Jaga Jazzist shortly before the UK release of this, their debut album. Looking back, one has to wonder why it took nearly two years for this Jazz classic to cross the North Sea in order to search out UK audiences.
The comparisons that have been made between the Jazzists and bands such Tortoise and Squarepusher are to be considered. But these comparisons pale once the album is listened to, and, in order for one to be fully immersed by the inspired eclecticism that is on offer here, listened to again. Unlike a lot of the "jazz-by-numbers" sampladelica that masquerades as the (nu) jazz scene these days, the 10-strong Jaga Jazzist tip their hats to their antecedents while putting together exquisite, highly melodic material of their own. And, although they remain on the right side of experimental, their tunes are, for the most part, upbeat and buoyant, which is an outlook often foregone by leftfield artists in the quest for idiosyncratic modes of expression. Made for radio? Maybe. But you won't find this on any breakfast show.
Having had the good fortune to see this band give an impassioned live performance earlier this year, I would recommend that any prospective purchaser snaps this album up immediately, and awaits new releases with baited breath, as this is a band with a long and exciting career ahead of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars New jazz at its best..., 7 Jun 2003
By nicjaytee (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Albulm, 18 Jun 2003
By A Customer
A friend of mine suggested this albulm to me knowing that I had enjoyed Kings of Convenience and Royksopp. Was very excited by it. Some fantastic tunes. Especially the beautiful melody of Airborne, and the great flute riff on Real Race Cars Have Doors. Can't stop mumming along. Looking forward to hearing the new albulm. I recommend a listen - even for those who don't consider themselves hard core jazz fans.
