Adolf plays the jazz have nothing to do whatsoever with politics and fascism especially.
In essence, the band is formed in 2002, even though the first song created under the name Adolf plays the jazz was created in 1998 (it’s “Frank Zappa needs haircut”, which was later included in the Muzzle the birds EP).
2005 marks the first official release, cognac or brandy ep. The style of music is influenced by the post-rock scene, albeit with some cinematic elements, which are made even more obvious through the use of samples or movie dialogues.
Their music has always been distributed for free and this will always be the case for Adolf plays the jazz. You can download all our stuff for free at http://adolfplaysthejazz.weebly.com/
Next, Muzzle the birds EP is released, which is a compilatons of previously unreleased songs written between 1998 and 2005 and in 2006 the first LP is released, titled Art Brokolo. It incorporates some heavier and more progressive elements, with an ever-present cinematic feel. During the same year, another compilation is released, featuring songs from all previous releases. Its title is Another slice ? and was handed out in the Red Sparowes concert in Athens that year.
2007 marks the release of Melt EP and day 4 | urban fiction part 1 which are both part of a tribute to life in the city, the latter being the first volume of a concept album, as suggested by its title. Melt EP features a more electronic/trip hop song structure, with heavier use of loops and samples.

Dear folks from Adolf Plays the Jazz: I'd really like to know who is the background speaker in your track "Inumb", on what occasion the speech was given, and where I can read a transcript of it (or perhaps get a clean recording of the speech). Seems very interesting and I'd like to have a closer look at it, but, since I'm not a very good English listener, I don't get it all from the song: I miss some words and part of the meaning. Could you please disclose the informations mentioned above (maybe in the track's page on Last.fm)? Thanks!
