History

[edit]

Formed in 1995 by Alexander Barck, Claas Brieler, Jürgen von Knoblauch, Roskow Kretschmann, Stefan Leisering, and Axel Reinemer,[2] the group's music is characterized by nu jazz, chill-out, and Latin jazz styles. They founded the record label Sonar Kollektiv in 1997.

They also have a side-project, Extended Spirit,[when?] and gained recognition as remixers for acts such as Marschmellows, Ian Pooley, Incognito, 4Hero, MJ Cole, and Masters at Work.[citation needed]

Jazzanova released their second studio album, Of All the Things, in October 2008.[3] Funkhaus Studio Sessions was released in May 2012 with Paul Randolph on vocals. Jazzanova announced the expected release of a new studio album, The Pool, in June 2018.[citation needed]
