The band plays new arrangements of soul jazz classics, originally recorded by composers like Donald Byrd, Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock & Eddie Harris.

Soul jazz, born in the early 1960s, provided a pathway for the funky grooves of contemporary soul & R&B to infuse the muscular hard bop of the day.

Soul jazz helped form the soundtrack for that generation, but, as it turns out, this music is multigenerational & has served as a springboard repertoire for up & coming young jazzers as well.

It’s groove-oriented & fun to play—and to hear!
