Zizza Ensemble

Zizza Ensemble is an angular Funk foursome with a cartoonish swagger and a wicked streak. We play an (inevitably) eclectic mix of Funk, Jazz, Ska and Rock - a concotion which has been described to us, sometimes by people not entirely inebriated, as being 'Punk Jazz', 'Ska Funk' or just plain nuts.Zizza Ensemble's first incarnation dates back to a couple of years ago, when a handful of young people with an interest in swing and bossa nova styles decided to put together a band. We eventually grew disillusioned with our musical direction, so we ditched the jazz standards and jam-numbers and started replacing them with the afore mentioned psychofunk. We are going through the (long, laborious and monstrously expensive) process of building up and recording material for our debut album.
