Hello Select your address CDs & Vinyl Hello, Sign in. Souljazz doesn't reinvent soul, jazz or the fusion thereof, but it plays all of the above with the passion that drove its forefathers. The Souljazz Orchestra - Cahaos Theories Music. Their versatile sound is in part due to the diverse musical backgrounds of the bands individual members: jazz, funk. Think - James Brown meets up with Tito Puente and they all hook up to jam at Fela Kuti s house. All the instruments make essential contributions, but the vibraphone is a clear standout here: Hearing those long, watery notes cast out over a fusion beat brings to mind a fantasy collaboration between Fela Kuti and the Modern Jazz Quartet's Milt Jackson. Hailing from Ottawa, The Souljazz Orchestra combine jazz, funk, African and Latin music while touching on politics and spirituality. "Negus Negast" is one of nine instrumental tracks that play with a strong beat and even stronger solos, as an initial burst of brass and drums creates a bombastic flavor before making way for heavy horns. The group's versatility hasn't suffered, either as Souljazz emulates Latin jazz with the same attention to detail it lends its more Afrobeat-influenced songs. All the electric guitars, organs and lead vocals have been thrown out the window this time around, and, despite achieving an entirely acoustic sound, The Souljazz Orchestra sounds louder than ever. So CBC Music shot a live Souljazz Orchestra concert at their studios in. Albums include Manifesto, Rising Sun, and Inner Fire. On the new Rising Sun, Canada's Souljazz Orchestra lives up to all three parts of its name, with more instrumentation than ever and some notable sonic innovations since 2008's Manifesto. All vinyl LPs and CDs on CD Baby are 10 off until midnight this Friday November. The Souljazz Orchestra discography and songs: Music profile for The Souljazz Orchestra, formed 2002.
