BEIJING PART, 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF JZ FESTIVAL 2014JOJO MAYER & NERVE 2014 ” THE DISTANCE BETWEEN 0 & 1″

Over the past decade, the JZ Festival has grown to become the largest jazz festival in China. To commemorate their 10th Festival Anniversary, the JZ Group has put together their most distinguished lineup of world-class musicians to date in Shanghai. There are also three jazz masters’ performances in Yugong Yishan, Beijing, as a part of JZ Festival, including Jojo Mayer & Nerve, Snarky Puppy and Marcus Miller.

JOJO MAYER & NERVE

The brainchild of Jojo Mayer evolved out of the legendary party event Prohibited Beatz in NYC during the late 90’s. Initially a platform for experimental interaction between DJ’s, musicians and the audience, his collective eventually developed into a fine tuned group that cross-pollinated the premeditated format of programmed electronic music styles with real time, improvised music performance. Within that format, the band assimilated a wide spectrum of electronic styles from old school Jungle, Dub Step or Glitch beats to Minimal, Deep and Tech House and anything that could escape genre descriptions yet.

In the process, the group managed to acquaint a new audience with improvised music for the first time and ultimately bring the Jazz tradition of improvisation, driving rhythms and stylistic evolution to the digital age.

NERVE re-examines and transcends the relationship between human creativity and digital technology and created a new form of musical expression which is completely unique in the world today.
