If you missed the first CD release party in Ottawa in late February...
With its raw blaring horns, dusty vintage keyboards, and fierce earthquaking percussion, the Souljazz Orchestra is redefining modern groove music, creating a potent new blend of Funk, Soul, Jazz, Afrobeat, African and Latin styles.
This is a release party for Souljazz's new album, Rising Sun, on Strut Records. This is the group's first all-acoustic afro-jazz album. Playing over thirty different instruments, the musicians create a rich soundscape of otherworldly jazz, driven by heavy African rhythms and soulful vamps. The esoteric arrangements and fiery improvisations make it one of the Souljazz Orchestra's most unique offerings.
