Jazzbois is a jazz-hiphop fusion trio from Budapest, Hungary. Their debut album “Jazzbois Goes Blunt” had a strong impact on both the jazz and hip-hop scene, creating a unique psychedelic flavored fusion that shacked the bones of jazz masters and beat lovers alike.

Taking inspiration from contemporaries like Yussef Dayes, Moses Boyd, Robert Glasper and Madlib whilst spiritually connected to the jazz fusion masters of the past like Azymuth, Chick Corea and Weather Report, the group’s creative process for new album Higher Dimension Waiting Room began as as an improvised session, living and creating in the moment, before the studio editing phase, where they cut their tracks down into songs.

From local beginnings, their music was picked up on multiple editorial playlists on Spotify & Apple Music, resulting in millions of streams. But it’s offline, live on stage where the project comes alive. As all their songs are recorded in the moment and edited in post production, they have to be learnt again. Live, they never play anything the same way twice, often dropping in motifs and riffs from some jazz classics. For their bigger shows DomBeats joins them on sax & flute, adding yet more energy and power to their performances.

With more releases in the pipeline, and with live dates piling up, Jazzbois are clearly in the ascendance. Just three musicians, three instruments and possessing some serious musical clout, a sure-winner for jazz-heads, new and old.
