Nu Jazz

Nu Jazz synthesizes a decade plus of six unique, yet naturally interconnected musical journeys. Some members have spent years in New York City’s experimental electronic scene, while others have dedicated the bulk of their musical lives pursuing what we call “Jazz”. Despite disparate influences, all are bound by a profound appreciation for musical frontiers that have yet to be explored, creating that which defies the limitations of genre. The artists constituting the collective “Nu Jazz” have performed all over New York City, the United States and the world with their respective groups such as Deli Girls, Murderpact, CGI Jesus, Beshken, WRENS, The Trap Music Orchestra, and The Beak Trio; sharing the stage with luminaries like Jaimie Branch, Jason Lindner, Leya, Poncili Creacíon, Tomoki Sanders, and many more. Their debut record, Nu Jazz – Vol. I, incorporates vast electronic soundscapes, extraterrestrial vocal textures and open improvisation submerged in raw punk swagger, setting Nu Jazz apart from the rest.
