Helping guide music lovers worldwide to the highest quality of Scandinavian music, Dealers of Nordic Music introduces to you the rich flora of contemporary Jazz. The Jazzflora project aims to open people?s eyes to a Scandinavian movement in music built of young producers and labels who have grown up with the rhythms and structures of electronic music as well as the influences and history of jazz. Music created from a point where the two directions come together and redefining the term jazz. Since jazz was first introduced, Scandinavian composers and music listeners have embraced it, the result being a great tradition fostering its own international talents. Now it is 2004 and electronic club music has equipped a new generation of musicians with the tools to push jazz music forward. People like Christoffer Berg (Hird) and the guys in Koop are blending the jazz tradition with the element of club culture in a respectful way giving us a new aspect of jazz.
