The Wicked Jazz Sounds Band

About Me

You might have heard of them before...Wicked Jazz Sounds, the illustrious family of DJs and live musicians that has been keeping people dancing with a smile since 2002 !
Being a platform for quality music, Wicked Jazz Sounds comes in many shapes. Besides hosting hugely popular clubnights throughout and outside The Netherlands, running a succesful series of compilation CDs, producing and remixing music, and presenting a primetime radioshow, things have been (not so) silently cooking in the WJS family in the past year...
Enter The Wicked Jazz Sounds Band! Inspired by the steamy weekly Wickedjazz club nights, the musicians got together in the studio and composed some grooves of their own! The best tracks made it to an album, that, in true Wicked Jazz Sounds fashion, ranges from jazz to hiphop to funk to house to breakbeat to samba to wherever the musical wind takes them.
The first studio album will be released in the autumn of 2008, but the band is already out there showcasing their material. Check out the agenda, come by and dance with a smile!
