Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey are stupid fun live (at least this is what I gather from video and recordings, since I’ve yet to experience this personally). Keyboardist Brian Haas, guitarist Chris Combs, and percussionist Josh Raymer (amongst numerous other variations of all their primary instruments, of course, to serve the craziness) have a raucous good time making their raucous music, especially on the road, as their video for “Tetherball Triumph” and their new video for “Appropriation Song” can attest. These are all from the new live album JFJO is releasing tomorrow, The Battle for Earth, recorded over two days at Dazzle in Denver, CO, one of those spots in one of those cities where many Royal Potato Family shows tend to roll through and seems quite amenable to the crazy jazz music these guys make. Check out the video after the jump.

To convey the whole live experience of JFJO, it’s best to actually see them in front of you, so hopefully you’ll be in one of these cities over the next few months as the guys tour in support of the new album and in support of general craziness.
