NoJazz(France)
Nojazz was born in 2001 when musicians from different backgrounds got together. With an explosive first album in 2002, a handful of multi-coloured remixes and cult concerts all over France and the rest of the world, in just a few years Nojazz has become much more than a group. It’s a musical UFO that unleashes passions, a machine that tears down labels and all kinds of fundamentalisms, in short, a phenomenon with a reputation that’s spread like wildfire through international music networks.
The group has performed in more than 50 countries and in the biggest festivals, including Montreal Jazz Festival, Miami JVC, La Villette Jazz Fest, Jazz Open Stuttgart, Cervantino (Mexico), Warsaw, Johannesburg, Bombay, Pop Komm in Berlin, Los Angeles, Seville, Moscow, Madajazzcar, and Nice Jazz Festival amongst others. " Soul Stimulation " the last opus of Nojaz was published in 2016. It was mixed by Thomas Atom (C2C, Stromae ),and featured maestros such as Stevie Wonder, Maurice White, Bishop Lamont and promises an amazing variety of new colors and energies.
After having published in France their last single « Swingin’ in da Rain », Nojazz will release in digital the album "Soul Stimulation ", a mix of soul, Jazz , funk, dance , electro and hip hop, in INDIA for Fébruary 2018.Philippe Balatier : Keyboards/Samples
