NU JAZZ | QUARRY, LIVERPOOL

Moonfrog Presents NU JAZZ at Quarry Liverpool 04.06.24

NYC’s most transgressive and mysterious supergroup, 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, Ex Wiish, Beshken, WRENS and The Beak Triol, sharing festival
stages with luminaries like Jaimie Branch, Tomoki Sanders, Leya, Poncili Creacíon, Aquiles
Navarro of Irreversible Entanglements and many others. Their debut record “Vol. I” combines
the sound of NYC electronic hardcore, unrestrained free improvisation, and sample based
modular synthesis techniques influenced by featured collaborator and keyboardist Jason
Lindner of Bowie’s “Blackstar Orchestra”. Vast electronic soundscapes, extraterrestrial vocal
textures and open improvisation submerged in raw punk swagger sets Nu Jazz apart from the
rest.
