About Me

Tao Hoejgaard DJazZ experience is in essence a classic jazz quartet, but as the name implies, there is a modern element added to the group. The drummer who is normally found within a jazz group is replaced by the DJ who supplies the rhythm via samples, beats from vinyl, and other electronic devices.

The group came about from a coincidental meeting between a jazz musician and a DJ who needed to record some studio takes. Since then, this collaboration has turned into a steady band, hence the name Tao Hoejgaard DJazZ experience.

In the past decade, there has been many occasions where jazz has cooperated with DJs and electronic music, but rarely has a steady constellation formed from these outings.

Because of the music's blend of funky hip hop and curious jazz, one is tempted to pronounce the band's name as "Djaaaaazzzz". This is also credited to the bands intention of always looking for the innovative while still keeping an overall "groove" to the music.
