Jazzimodo

Jazzimodo is a Chilean Jazz/Pop unit. They were formed in 2005, with the idea of making contemporary music with a “jazzy” edge, seeking a sound based on the combination of electronic beats and atmosphere, the simplicity of Pop and the style of Jazz. Jazzimodo’s lyrics, in Spanish, English and French, convey simple messages, dealing with everyday life, sensations and thoughts, thereby demonstrating the global character of this music, a music which is not limited by borders, but still keeps its own identity and, most importantly, an innovative spirit. At the same time, and with that same universal character, Jazzimodo is able to reach people of all nationalities, ages, and musical tastes, with their music and intense shows, when the stage is overtaken with colorful lights, dance and virtuosic playing. The members of Jazzimodo come from the jazz scene, all carrying vast experience in this genre; their skills, talent and creativity combine to create the unique fusion that is Jazzimodo. Lautaro Quevedo, composer and keyboardist, who is also in charge of his machine set (hundreds of wires, switches and numbers), is always willing to leave this laboratory aside and devote himself to playing mellow harmonies, textures and noises on the keyboard or jazzy solos on the Rhodes or Hammond. The base is followed by Hans Avila (drummer), who maintains the beat of all these loops and tempos, never loosing the sparkling sound of his acoustic drums, whether making drum’n’bass insertions or putting his music over a monotone house beat, he also gives the base a fresh character with his own solo jazz style. And the final element, a fundamental part of Jazzimodo is singer and composer Paz Court, who conveys such expressive warmth in her singing and delivers her melodies, phrases and movements with a smooth ludic character, her voice slips into this digital-physical circuit and creates a perfect blend of the different components. Always maintaining impeccable execution, with top level sidemen and guest artists, Jazzimodo is proud to count on bass players like Nelson Arriagada, Andres Landon and Roberto Trujillo, as well as great guest musicians such as Agustin Moya, sax; Sebastian Jordan, trumpet; Ernesto ”Chino" Kong on guitar, among others. Jazzimodo is a huge dynamic source of continuous energy; it will only grow from here. Read more on Last.fm.
