9 Lazy 9

9 Lazy 9 is an eclectic downtempo and acid jazz group that emerged from the innovative and genre-bending UK music scene of the early 1990s. The band was formed by Keir Fraserello and James Bradell, also known as Giacomo Braddellini, who shared an affinity for fusing jazz sensibilities with electronic music landscapes. Their sound is characteristically laid-back and groove-laden, often incorporating live instruments such as saxophones and flutes to craft a rich tapestry of chilled-out beats and melodic improvisations.

The band became a part of the thriving Ninja Tune label, which was synonymous with avant-garde trip-hop and instrumental hip hop, allowing them to reach a wider audience with their mellow, jazz-influenced tunes. Albums like "Electric Lazyland" (1994) and "Paradise Blown" (1994) showcase their early mastery at blending ambient textures with jazzy grooves. With subsequent releases such as "Sweet Jones" (2003) and "Bedsofaland" (2006), 9 Lazy 9 continued to refine their sound. Their most recent works, "Serpentine" and "Try This Rhythm," are a testament to their enduring ability to evolve while maintaining the chilled essence that first defined their music.
