In 1997 five Berlin musicians from the bands Yebo, Engine 54 and Time Tough united as JazzBo. Later, musicians from the Skampis, Wood In Di Fire and Growing Tree joined the band; also, there are close ties to Mother’s Pride, the Butlers, Lions Club and to bands from the reggae, New Orleans jazz, new jazz and mod scenes.

In 1999 JazzBo released the first records, 7” and 12” (X, Monkey Business 1999), some tracks appeared on compilations, and in 2004 the Madrid Liquidator label released the CD and LP BLACK FRIDAY.

As it was always before, JazzBo again developed their musical concept further with the latest CD – BORN BLUE (Liquidator 2006):

With BORN BLUE, JazzBo present more own compositions and show deepened influences from other musical genres like calypso or New Orleans jazz. But still there is continuity in view of the strict unplugged, five-man combo concept and the dominance of interpretations of jazz classics as well as (rather unknown) ska standards.

Although there are now three long player available, JazzBo are still foremost a live Band, enjoying the interaction on stage and between audience and band members: in clubs as well as at small private events or huge festivals.
