Their second album „Point of View“, released in 2004, was highly acclaimed by the media and followed by a successful club tour and invitations to renowned jazz festival. „Expansion“, the third album ( 2006), presents a new side of the the band. Besides reinterpretations, [re:jazz] released their first own compositions, fitting perfectly into their [re:jazz] style. In spring 2008 they returned with a brand new release feat. their first live album recorded at the 'Motion Blue yokohama" during their Japan tour. Besides the live album there is a 90 minute dvd documentary about [re:jazz] touring and performing live in Japan. Their fourth album 'Nipponized' was released in autumn 2008 and features re-interpretations of japanese club-music classics besides new compositions by [re:jazz]. “Electified” from 2010 is the second collection of electronic interpretations of their music. Most of the titles make reference to originals from the studio album “Nipponized” The self-chosen dogma in the earlier albums of creating acoustic versions of electronic originals is abandoned on their 2012 release "Kaleidoscope" and the repertoire focuses on own compositions. Still using jazz as basic vocabulary, the Frankfurt band project around jazz pianist and DJ Matthias Vogt takes the liberty of extending this freedom.
