Pyramid
The jazz fusion band's 9th album is titled 'Pyramid' because the songs stack together into one complete shape.
Jaga Jazzist's 2020 full-length Pyramid arrived five years after Starfire, which found the Norwegian ensemble writing longer, more suite-like compositions.
Since the release of their debut LP in 1996, Jaga Jazzist always felt like the most forward-looking members of the Scandinavian jazz scene,...
The rock-infused orchestral jazz of Jaga Jazzist is somewhat unclassifiable at the best of times, but on Pyramid’s four tracks the band show, if it were possible, yet more willfully abandoned creativity and compositional craft than they have before.
Norwegian cosmic jazz/post rock band Jaga Jazzist have been doing their thing for a long time, yet it's never sounded so timid as it does here
Pyramid is certainly a fitting title for the new Jaga Jazzist album. It's beautifully structured and obviously crafted with meticulous care
