Group formed by Swedish music producer Rasmus Faber to record jazz covers of famous anime songs.
It was 2008 when Faber first spoke of his love for the musical complexity of anime soundtrack music with his management, who by chance had just had a similar discussion with the Japanese music journalist Yuzuru Sato, who had been expressing his wish to select anime songs for a jazz cover project. And from that moment, Platina Jazz was born.
Coming from a background of jazz music, Faber had the right connections with musicians in his home city of Stockholm, Sweden. PJ’s first album "Anime Standards vol. 1" was released in 2009 to both critical acclaim and fan delight. Critics loved the "real jazz" sound of the album as performed by such talented musicians, and anime fans delighted to hear such carefully crafted versions of their favourite songs. 8 more albums followed and the band's YouTube channel has flourished, amassing many millions of streams and happy fans.
Faber is an ever-growing presence in the anime music world having composed the entire scores for The Asterisk War, Harukana Receive, Artiswitch and Kyoukai Senki, as well as writing songs for, among others, Moriarty the Patriot, Macross Delta & Rinne No Lagrange.
