JazzBo is a traditional combo quintet, relying solely on acoustic instruments.

What others say: Well, not all critics are happy with what we do. - BUT, here we leave out those who generally don't like instrumental music. Let's have a look at what most tell us, let's have a look at the bright side:

» traditional Jamaican ska at its best «

TED JOHNSON/ AGOUTI MUSIC, Hayward, California/ USA

» Normally I have certain expectations of ‘white guys’ playing ska-reggae, but I gave it a spin!!!! Thisis some beautiful TRADITIONAL sounding Jamaican-style music!!! «

CGRIS AZEVEDO/ SCRATCH RADIO, Vancouver/ Canada

» Germany's best ska-jazz band «

SKANKING NIGHT, Vienna/ Austria

» instrumental ska of best quality «

MOLOKO PLUS, Germany

» JazzBo from Berlin are surely the most authentic ska-jazz-band since the early Skatalites «

WE DARE, Zurich/ Switzerland

» JazzBo is a band, and quality is its second name ... fantastic for long and hot summer days! «

ISPRED DRAGSTORA serbian punk oi ska internetportal & radio show, Belgrade/ Serbia

»JazzBo refuse to electrify their instruments, the Band plays strictly unplugged. Sceptics may see in this a missed chance, but in reality they keep the true - warm - sound of their instruments. Besides, JazzBo is a quintet without – guitar! ... But for JazzBo this is perfectly possibly due to adequate passages from the piano and the drums! «

ORE, Vilnius/ Lithuania

» Five experienced musicians who play strictly unplugged, and the result is this barnstorming ska-jazz, rough and pure. «

XXIV JAZZFESTIVAL, MADRID/ Spain

» Irresistible… Who knew that Germans were so adept at fusing ska and jazz? … they create one hell of a big, groovy, toe-tapped romp «

IN MADRID– The English-Language Monthly, Madrid/ Spain

» The passion for instrumental music links JazzBo with the Skatalites, Don Drummond, or Jackie Mittoo, with wohm they share not only the concept but also the musical dedication. «
