Norwegian horns-based combo Jaga Jazzist, formed by multi-instrumentalist
brothers Lars and Martin Horntveth, released an immature album,
J‘vla Jazzist Grete Stitz (Thug, 1996), and the
EP Magazine (Dbut, 1998 - Smalltown Supersound, 2004)
before finding their true voice.
A Livingroom Hush (Warner, 2001 - Ninja Tune, 2002) straddled the border
between the Canterbury (melodic jazz-rock) sound of Soft Machine and the post-rock sound of Tortoise.
They tried to make their project more accessible (and succeeded) with
the electronic and "orchestral" The Stix (Ninja Tune, 2003).
What We Must (Ninja Tune, 2005), containing the eight-minute single All I Know Is Tonight, withdrew from the excesses of the previous album
but retained the overall aesthetic of intelligent, atmospheric instrumental
multi-layered music for the masses.
The Shining, featuring two members of Jaga Jazzist, was initially a jazzier
project on
Where The Ragged People Go (2001) and
Sweet Shanghai Devil (2001). They turned to
bombastic progressive-rock on
In The Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster (2005) and
Grindstone (2007).
Lars Horntveth debuted solo with the jazztronica experiment Pooka (2004).
