Various Artists - Jazzland Community

Facts Jazzland Community: Live, is a fitting ten year anniversary celebration, presenting artists who may have been a part of Jazzland's past, but are now very much part of their present and future. During the label's ten year history, the Norwegian jazz scene has been a centre of innovation and invention, so much so that in 2005, the highly respected British broadsheet the Guardian suggested that Oslo had now taken over New Orleans or New York as "the new capital of jazz." the Jazzland label has been at the centre of this creativity, moving in-tune to a fast changing music scene and documenting some of the very best sounds around. "In the beginning I wanted Jazzland to be a label for the mix between acoustic and electronic music with beats, but it has changed, and I feel it's natural and I'm really happy with this," reflects Bugge. "The Norwegian scene is different now, and I think we are following these changes."
