Juice Joint is a seven-piece jazz-fusion and hip-hop band based in London, Ontario, that got its start working on a student recording project at Fanshawe College. The group had immediate chemistry, which inspired bandleader Nathan Nykor to seize the opportunity and take it further, composing original instrumental music for the band in the same realm as Casiopea, Robert Glasper, and Jamiroquai. Since then, Juice Joint has played over 40 shows, including opening for Toronto-based jazz band, Moneka Arabic Jazz, neo-soul fusion band Bitter & Broke and accompanying R&B artist Eleanor Gebrou. Juice Joint also runs a successful bi-weekly jam session at a local bar, where the band begins with a short-set and encourages attendees to join them on stage and jam. They released their first single, “Grapevine”, in April 2024, followed by their debut self-titled album in May. From chill, lofi-inspired grooves to high-intensity solos, this emerging London ensemble promises to deliver a wide range of modern jazz sounds.
