Jaga Jazzist - What We Must
I think the most impressive musical talent is the talent of composition. The ability to understand how music can be arranged and executed complexly is a trait I long for. It's something I've been striving for in the 5 or so years I've been attempting to create music/art. I feel like these jazz cats from Norway have some impressive composing skills. This album is called What We Must and I picked it up the other day after having downloaded it like a year ago. This album blew me away when I was laying in bed sick this week. It was calming and laid back, but it has a confidence that it exudes that just flipped my shit. Made up of more than half a dozen instrumentalists and multi-instrumentalists, Jaga Jazzist combines the ideas of jazz with the modern appeal of post-rock. Those two words...post....rock. So god damn annoying, but don't be scared. This isn't some kind of overdone album with slow chromatic build-ups and "emotional" releases. This is an interesting and electic album that some have begun to call "nu-jazz." I have no idea what that really means, but it interests the hell out of me. This album is legit.
