Ever changing and evolving, the Berlin based eclectic collective Jazzanova went from their early sampled and programmed productions in the 90s to a singer songwriter and live band project in early 2009. Within the past three years Jazzanova feat. Paul Randolph played far over 150 shows around the globe including festivals like MELT!, FLOW, CAPETOWN JAZZ, JAVA JAZZ, NORTH SEA JAZZ to name but a few. Jazzanova producers Stefan Leisering & Axel Reinemer succeeded in bringing the spirit of their productions, remixes and extensive DJ touring on the live stage. Whoever had the chance to see them play live knows how magical this experience can be. Like no others they transport the richness and sublimity of their productions perfectly on stage.

After extensively touring worldwide Jazzanova finally takes it to the next stage: The ‚FUNKHAUS STUDIO SESSIONS‘. Jazzanova‘s first live album release will please every true music lover with an affinity for warm, soulful, deep and genuine musicianship. It represents their live playlist including the songs the band learned to love the most on tour as well as the audience‘s favourites and last but not least their fantastically soulful new song ‚I HUMAN‘. The album was recorded at the legendary GDR Rundfunk Orchestra Studios in East Berlin and was released on Sonar Kollektiv in May 2012.
