Active since 2012, JazzyBIT offers an energetic combination of jazz and rock, scattered here and there with blues, latin and funk. The group describes its style as being “loud jazz”. It sounds like Hiromi would play with Snarky Puppy, but in a trio. All About Jazz compares JazzyBIT with the Esbjörn Svensson Trio: “JazzyBIT channeled the successful Esbjörn Svensson Trio combo by bringing a bit of rock attitude to catchy tunes adorned with a melodic lilt. What also caught the ear was their combination of funky rhythms, tight musicianship and witty arrangements.”.
The band released the debut album “Touch the Sky” in 2014, followed by the album “Horizon” in 2016. In 2021 JazzyBIT releases its third album “Drive“, mixed in New York City at the The Bunker Studio by John Davis (bass player of the band Jojo Mayer / Nerve) and mastered by Alex DeTurk, both awarded with the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album in 2019.
The band has a flourishing live activity, counting over 250 concerts in its 10 years of existence. Until now, JazzyBIT has played in 16 countries on three continents, participating in some of the world’s most famous jazz festivals, like the Blue Note Jazz Festival New York, Jarasum International Jazz Festival in Seoul (South Korea), Katara European Jazz Festival in Doha (Qatar), A to JazZ Festival in Sofia (Bulgaria), Belgrade Jazz Festival in Serbia, Vilnius Mama Jazz Festival in Lithuania and several appearances at the Gărâna Jazz Festival and Jazz in the Park in Cluj-Napoca (Romania). They also play in many jazz clubs with tradition like Porgy & Bess (Vienna), Reduta Jazz Club (Prague), Sunset Sunside (Paris), PizzaExpress Jazz Club (London) or the Budapest Jazz Club. Besides the jazz circuit, the band also played at some multi-genre festivals, such as the Sziget Festival in Hungary, the Exit Festival in Serbia or the Untold Festival in Romania, but also in some well-known clubs from the European circuit, like the A38 in Budapest or the Control in Bucharest.
