Jizue (ジズー), stylized as jizue and pronounced "Jizu", is a Japanese instrumental jazz-fusion band from Kyoto.[1] The band's name is taken from an alternate spelling of French soccer star Zinedine Zidane's nickname "Zizou".[2][3]
Jizue was formed in 2006 by guitarist Norimasa Inoue, bassist Tsuyoshi "Gou" Yamada, and drummer Shin Kogawa. Piano player Kataki "Kie" Nozomiyo joined the following year. Their music was influenced by post-rock, together with jazz, which led to their present fusion sound.[citation needed] They have performed at large music festivals such as Fuji Rock.[4]
In 2017, they were signed to Victor Entertainment.[5]
