Drawing on a wider canvas of styles than ever before, touching on spiritual jazz, deep African rhythms and Ethiopian modes, the Orchestra takes their sound to new heights with stunning musicianship and virtuoso arrangements throughout.
Since their creation in 2002 in Ottawa, Canada, The Souljazz Orchestra has become one of the most potent bands in their field. Drawing on the rough, raw grooves of the '60s and '70s and effortlessly fusing soul, jazz, Afro and latin rhythms within their music, they have moved forward the blueprint of Fela, Fania and the funk in entirely new ways, whilst keeping the vital analogue grit intact. As a live unit, the Orchestra has become an in-demand fixture at venues and festivals worldwide.
Strut is proud to present the band's hotly anticipated third album, 'Rising Sun'. Drawing on a wider canvas of styles than ever before, touching on spiritual jazz, deep African rhythms and Ethiopian modes, the Orchestra takes their sound to new heights with stunning musicianship and virtuoso arrangements throughout. Long-time fan Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio One) has acclaimed this album to be their best yet.
