LEGO Ideas 21334 Jazz Quartet officially revealed!

Get into the grooze, as LEGO Ideas has officially unveiled 21334 Jazz Quartet, a completely brick-built ensemble that celebrates jazz music.

Build your very own jazz pianist, double bassist, trumpet player, and drummer for a display model that is designed to be built together with a partner, or up to 4 people simultaneously.

The 1,606 piece model has a release date of 1 July 2022, and will be priced at US$99.99 / AU$169.99 and will be available from LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store.

See below for regional

The original project was designed by Taiwan-based LEGO fan, Hsinwei Chi through the LEGO Ideas platform – check out his original project here.

As you can see, not much has been changed, except the floor colour, which has been brightened up, and the introduction of a female pianist, which adds so much needed gender diversity into the quartet.

It’s a pretty cool model, and I like that the stage and musicians can be separated, allowing you to remix the layout of the band, and have some fun with it.

It’s quite a decent-sized display model, perfect for your desk, as it doesn’t take up too much space, and is quite unassuming. The dimensions of the set are 20cm (7.5″) high, 43cm (17″) wide, and 16cm (6″ deep).

As you can see in the the lifestyle photos, the brick-built humans look quite large.

As suggested in the photos, the set is designed to be built by 1-4 people, making this an ideal group activity with a partner, preferably with some jazz music in the background!

Here’s a better look at the brick-built humans, and musical instruments which include a grand piano, trumpet, double bass and drum kit.

How cool is the use of a blank video game controller as bowtie!

I really like the design of the figures – not quite Miniland figures, but with more anatomically unique features that give each player distinct identities.

I like how unassuming the set is – it has no blockbuster license, or nostalgic movie reference, no outrageous design or play features, just a very solid design. I don’t think it’s going to set the world on fire, but for LEGO fans who want a classy model, or have an affinity with jazz music (remember going to jazz clubs??), this is a great set.

LEGO is clearly looking to target music fans of all genres, and now you can add this to the collection, alongside  LEGO 21329 Ideas Fender Stratocaster21323 Grand Piano, 40548 Spice Girls Tribute, 31206 The Rolling Stones and 31204 Elvis Presley ‘The King’.

The price also seems decent at US$99.99 for 1.6k pieces, I just hope the price isn’t affected by the upcoming price increases.

21334 LEGO Ideas Jazz Quartet will b available on 1 July 2022 from LEGO.com, and your local LEGO store.

I’ll hopefully be able to share my early review soon, and hopefully the delivery isn’t delayed, so I’m really looking forward to checking this set out!

What do you think of the design of 21334 Jazz Quartet? Does the design appeal to you and will you be interested in the set come 1 July?

    Why do TLC always have to mess with perfect designs? Can they not stand that they didn’t design it? Or like Google, Microsoft and Apple do they think they know better than us what we want? The original is lovely with the varnished floor and it has a genuine vibe of the musicians being in the music and the moment – these changes have wrecked that totally, it just doesn’t have that same feel now.

    And what a load of twonk about being diverse, it’s a bunch of plastic bricks FFS. Who the hell is going to boycott this set because it is not diverse enough? Yet more evidence the world is going mad – but of course no one will say it because we all have to be ridiculously PC these days.

    I was really looking forward to this set but I will now boycott it due to these ludicrous and unattractive changes. And no, I’m not racist or sexist, I’m merely a realist.

    Does anyone know if they are prints or stickers?

  3. Andrew Gardiner says:

    I am happy that this now has a release date but am disappointed that they messed with the original design. The original piano player looked good and was clearly in the mood. The replacement pianist just looks weird to me. The neck is way too thin and what is going on with the face? Possibly I’ll think differently when I have the set but at this stage I am thinking that this needs to be modified back to something closer to the original.

      That’s fair! I’m curious about the changes too. I’m interviewing the designers soon, so will try and ask these questions!

  4. Pete says:

    So why are all the musicians black? You mention the female piano player and needed gender diversity however most jazz ensembles were men with a woman singing if needed. And they weren’t all black… Perhaps the original designer, an apparent Asian, didn’t know that?

    • Jay says:

      I think there’s a good mix of shades. Not to mention that Jazz was developed by African Americans, so it might be a nod to the genre’s history and roots.

  5. Pan CM says:

    I like the original cesign better. The dark floor helps attenuate the attention to the performers much better than this light tan floor. Also the design of the drum set and the drum player’s posting looks neater and better balanced with the whole set in my oipinion.

    • Jay says:

      That’s fair with the floor. I guess they didn’t want it looking too dark. I’ll be sure to ask the designers when I speak to them!
