[AmericanBarber82]

Awesome video, but dang someone get that guitarist a sandwich or something.

[hombreg1]

really smooth and awsome

[duramal]

Vaya temazo!



[dreamlandsessions]

at 0:46 when the camera cuts to a viking beat machine i kinda jizz myself.

[lameccanica]

yeah! this is the first band reminding me the great zappa without sounding like a bad imitation!  beautiful music!

[theguywhoputsvideos]

I'm doing a transcription of this song and the vibraphone riff is so hard to transcribe!!!

[duclau]

Thank you for returning to Ottawa, the day after Canada Day, it's just the best medicine for the day after the night before................

[gunnsgthartman]

Yesterday's Montreal show was freaking amazing. Thank you for the awesome performance!

[dunscap]

This screams Zappa! Especially @3:53.

[znmpm]

Jazzist in Wroclaw this July! During the New Horizons festival!

[1mOOReonE]

They are playing in Portland Oregon tomorrow night!

[bacwerdsman]

@1mOOReonE

Seattle tonight!!!!! Can't wait!

[BartvKeersop]

Does anyone know if the drums are just improvised?

I think they're not the same as on the album. Great nonetheless, but it's so difficult to remember what he plays.

[EcarEibmoz]

@BartvKeersop Negatory, I saw them in Seattle and that guy was spot-on for every song. His sense of rhythm is incredible.

[BartvKeersop]

@EcarEibmoz

I missed them when they played in holland. I'm a metal player that's getting into jazz haha, and jaga is just amazing for me. One-armed bandit is alot more fusion though... hopefully one day I'll get stuff like this down!

[cuerty654]

this dudes are musically superior to most of what i've previously heard in my life

[luckmirror]

Why are guests SITTING !?

[Pleepleus]

And the video is over. And now they're all going back to bed.

[monkyboy74]

minneapolis!!!!!!!!!!



[BTBAMBoarder]

This is HEAVENLY! I can not believe they are using a slot machine to create this.

[jojomchobo]

coming to Toronto end of June!!

[junalene13]

they'll be in the U.S this year!

[jessieTHEjazz]

Love one-armed bandit album. Their performance is just awesome. Wish i could have a chance to see their concert!:)

[astlond]

One of the best Jaga song!

[godsizedhole]

That bass sounds sick as fuck

[godsizedhole]

I want to live in the drummers beard.

[Katrillionare]

@godsizedhole I would love to live a mythical tale of the forging of Middle Earth

[ProgDogMan]

@Katrillionare so would i

[panelacosmica]

How is this concert called? i want it

[oszillatormusic]

Recommended to cure the sickness called "David Guetta" worldwide.

[Katrillionare]

@oszillatormusic Also an amazing cure for Beber fever!

[TheCyrax87]

HOLY SHIT these guys are great. I heard about these guys through Misha Mansoor.

[glassminimalist]

Strangely reminiscent of the old "Price Is Right" music.

[ciforoso]

For fuck sake, this song blew my mind on a one way ticket to groove town. I don't think i'll come across a better song than this through whats left of 2011.

[NoZAutonomy]

Jaga are great!

[ategg87]

Awesome vid!

[DougDiug]

that drummer reminds me of the sax player from the blues brothers movie.

Great song. Spotless, catchy, unique. Vibrant work.

[bte2096]

素晴らしい音楽ですね！



[JamesBlakeWilliams]

Absolutely amazing performance!

[jjtrantala]

I bet many Jaga Jazzist fans are big into Death Metal and Grindcore. No, I am not kidding. It is like the people who are really into The Cardigans.

[CamerOneiric]

@FishRock77 I was just listening to Spawn of Possession earlier, and before that Meshuggah. So yeah, your assumptions are confirmed.

[Gotank002]

I love their energy and the drummer's enthusiasm!

[KjerstiSynneva]

[KinetiK001]

One of my favorite albums of all time.

[ismald1]

this music makes me remember the amazing capacity of the human being, and some times, i think why we kill us between us?, why we have wars?

if everybody can being like Jaga jazzist = "harmony"

Regards from México

[yosoysahidleon]

[TheFishpiss]

best piece of music from 2010 hands down. even though it's still april.

[AutomaticRhythmUnit]

how can a 10-member-band simplify their output so drastically, yet manage to sound like nothing before?!

i'm in love. and have been ever since i first heard kitty wú.

[vata17a]

yah bpalan thats what i was thinkin reminds me of peaches in regalia

[fotzeknoedel]

I come from Zappa, King Crimson, Miles Davis... I discovered Jaga Jazzist at SomaFM's Sonic Universe channel, they play a lot NuJazz + avant-garde EuroJazz, inculding the above mentioned and much more interesting stuff.

[beyondz55]

very Zappa sounding!

[beyondz55]

yes! bring back the xylophone! great stuff

[gandulembo]

no hay palabras pa describir las peste bubónica que son ellos.

[snap0r4z]

bellissimo!!

[GrassySound]

There's a track on the album (I believe it's the tune Toccata) that sounds like Steve Reich with a rock band.

[elydawat]

WOW.. really.. i loved this!

[rch106]

Seems like the Norwegian TV studio sound engineers know something about the sound engineering.

[BlingMasterFunk]

Unlike North American, Norwegians have respect. :)

[TheFiascoDog]

Um...yeah...thanks for the love from the NA to you. Everyone knows the RESPECTFUL and mature thing thing to do is insult an entire country and generalize by saying they're a certain way....oh....wait...

[BlingMasterFunk]

@TheFiascoDog well i'm from canada myself and i'm not saying anything bad per say about any country in particular. however, the sound engineers in their country and a few others like them (sweden for example) have alot more respect for the ART of sound engineering than let's say ummm all of north america haha.

[TheFiascoDog]

and obviously you know this because you have conversed with and gotten to know thousands of sound engineers. other wise you'd know that what you perceive as RESPECT is just a DIFFERENT TASTE IN MUSIC. what i'm hearing from you is "its disrespectful to produce music other than what i like" but the most insulting part of anything i've heard you say is in the immaturity of your words. from what i know now, if you had to represent your country you would be seen as a joke to world.

[BlingMasterFunk]

@TheFiascoDog 1) i'm sorry but do you hunt down people and say bad things about them because it makes you feel good about yourself? it appears so. i think there is a miscommunication. respect for the art of sound engineering is present in this video if you understand the art of sound enginieering. if you look at mtv music awards and other "prestigious" awards shows (canada included by the way) you'll note that there are alot of mistakes, miscues, and bad audio to television mixes.

[BlingMasterFunk]

@TheFiascoDog 2) this was not meant to be a "patriotic" battle. you obviously have some issues in that area that you will need to work on. my intent prior to you commenting was simply to state that most european countries pay more attention to detail than north america. what's wrong with me saying that? do you have a problem with your country being inferior to another country in regards to sound engineering? if so i apologize for giving my opinion on the matter.

[BlingMasterFunk]

@TheFiascoDog 3) i love jaga jazzist and the community that surrounds them, i am simply showing my support for them.

[snowgoose92]

Simply the best!

[onelastbreath74]

saw the concert last night. simply great. the sound could have been better but still.. one of the best shows I've ever seen.. too bad they sold out all the t-shirts :E

[horst3003]

Then we were on the same concert. :-)

[fuzzhack]

so freaking amazing...

[gillsmcgee411]

this band is so fucking creative

[cringerBB]

Absolutely fantastic.Kjempebra.

[Samospacecadet]

Why is everyone naming so many other artists? could it be that the jaga jazzist simply sound like the jaga jazzists? I think so...enough nonesense!

[PaulyPlz]

I like to see other bands named as "bands you might like if you think Jaga Jazzists just sound like Jaga Jazzists but want more".

[maestro48239]

this is pretty fuckin incredible!

@imyouwithaboat Misteur Valaire is the most similar I know, except Zappa, for the big band energy. It's a 9 persons band from Sherbrooke, QC, with a nice electro-pop sound. Here in Quebec it's been a hit all summer with the song «ave mucho», but there are many other more interesting traks, like «sweet Charlemagne», «Monster Donte» or «Dan Dan». MV.MU

[Jellybeantiger]

Don't let a music site play god.

Just listen and if you like ,enjoy.

[pizzaROX]

high five! =)

[Jellybeantiger]

Pitchfork are songwriter fans.

AS soon as a band has a semblence of musicianship,they bag em a bit like all those image music sites magazines.

[grayrobertsonmusic]

I don't even think they are "songwriter" fans. I think they're fans of concepts and aesthetics. I definitely agree that once musicianship enters the picture they get scared. They said that the "modulations" on One Armed Bandit were "boring"....

[galton4]

hahah Mathias on the contrabass :D

[LPSAM4]

The drummer get THE style :P

[nordestino]

Jaga Jazzist is the reason to start a band or stop playing if you already play in one. Just perfect!

p.s. pitchfork just doesn't get them...

[Telford22785]

Well they gave a 6.9 to One-Armed, if I'm not wrong, it could have been worse! I've seen many reviews much more terrible than this one on that site..like 1.3 or things like that. I really don't understand their rating system btw, it makes no sense to me :)

Long live Jaga Jazzist.

[DandelionVolta]

@nordestino Pitchfork doesn't get any good band

[fluffythebunny]

@nordestino Pitchfork are totally up the Animal Collective's arse and review anything they do as if it's the most important thing since sliced bread. While I do like Animal Collective, Jaga Jazzist can write better songs.

[dieyoung]

@nordestino man fuck pitchfork, its a group of hipsters who have never played in a band in their life

[z1reticuli]

OMG, is it only my impression, or Sepultuba, as Line is sometimes called, lost weight quite drastically?

[anthonypecorabass]

They are a GREAT band. Thanks for posting. The states need the Jaga Jazzist here and touring!
