Developed in the American South, with its roots in blues and ragtime, jazz has expanded from its origins in New Orleans to be a global favorite, and today this exciting, expression genre can be heard in almost every country.
For this LEGO Ideas set, fan designer Hsinwei Chi focused on the iconic quartet, a band size that has been vital to the development of modern jazz. Like many famed quartets, his winning design includes four iconic jazz instruments – trumpet, piano, bass and drums – with four players that you can set in a variety of poses.
This stunning set will look beautiful on your bookshelf and even better beside your record collection. And since jazz is all about working in time with others, our new set comes with four building instruction booklets (for each part of the quartet), meaning you can get together with up to three friends and build the set as a group. While you’re at it, why not put your favorite jazz album to help you get into the flow?
