JazzBo - S E R I O U S . H I T S O U N D . F R O M . B E R L I N
JazzBo are devoted to the Jamaican ska-jazz of the 60s – a kind of music that changed music history as a forerunner of reggae and British ska. Today 60s
Jamaican ska-jazz is part of the cultural world heritage and receives worldwide sympathy.
JazzBo
belong to a few bands playing ska-jazz in a quite unspoilt but individual form – an exception in
Europe's ska scene.
JazzBo stand out not only due to the decade long jazz-ska experience of the horn section and
the virtuosity and presence of all the musicians, it is also because of the exceptional concept:
JazzBo are a five-man combo – playing strictly unplugged. The result is the true sound of ska-jazz:
rough, tight and groovy.
band history
In 1997 five Berlin musicians from the bands Yebo, Engine 54 and Time Tough united as
JazzBo. Later, musicians from the Skampis and Wood-In-Di-Fire joined the band. Also, there
are close ties to Mother's Pride, the Butlers, Lions Club and to bands from the New Orleans
jazz, new jazz and mod scene.
In 1999 JazzBo released the first records, 7” and 12” ("Garagesound X", Monkey Business 1999), some tracks
appeared on compilations, and in 2004 the Madrid Liquidator label released the CD and LP
"Black Friday".
Two years later, in 2006, JazzBo again developed their musical concept further with the
CD "Born Blue" (Liquidator 2006):
With "Born Blue" JazzBo present more own compositions and show deepened influences from
other musical genres like calypso or New Orleans jazz. But still there is continuity in view of
the strict unplugged combo concept and the dominance of interpretations of jazz
classics as well as (rather unknown) ska standards.
In December 2008, after a Brazil tour with shows in Sao Paulo, Campinas, Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre and Curitiba, JazzBo recorded another bundle of songs, mainly own compositions in the realm of ska and reggae in the JazzBo shape. This one-day session has just been published on Liquidator as "Hoy: Jazzbo! / Hoje: JazzBo!", giving credit to the spanish record label Liquidator as well as to Brazilian clubs and audiences (Liquidator 2009).
Although there are now several recordings available, JazzBo are still foremost a live band, enjoying the
interaction on stage and between audience and band members.
We would like to listen our Ska JazzBo and give us an sincerly opinión about our music. We are a band from Mexico and we like very much your music, definitely is one of the best bands in the world. I hope some day we can play like you do. Sincerely “The Ensemble 64” A.K.A The western killers.
