Industrial Jazz Group
Jazz / Experimental / Comedy Portland, OR |
Billboard
The Industrial Jazz Group (IJG) is a novel, adventurous big band (currently 16 pieces) showcasing the music of composer Andrew Durkin and the talents of some of the jazz world's pluckiest, most charismatic players. Frustrated by the limitations of "Jazz, the Institution," and bored by the mediocrity of much modern pop, the IJG has slowly pioneered the concept of "avant-garde party music": an idiosyncratic, charming / disarming blend of jazz, rock, cartoon soundtracks, humor, blues, funk, costumes, doo wop, dada, and a lot of other stuff. It's not really "industrial," and it's not really "jazz": the IJG attempts to demonstrate that music can indeed be complex, sophisticated, sexy, fun, funny, critical, smart, and groovy all at once.
