![Lee Fields & The Expressions with Slim Moore & the Mar-Kays @ Ritual [May 4, 2012]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4246142_lg.jpg)
May the "4th" was a funky R&B/Soul sold out show at Ritual. It was one of those shows I wanted to check out for myself. A mix of young and old that attended this show. I am talking about the Lee Fields show that happened on May 4, 2012. The show was presented by World Famous Music . Opening up the show was Slim Moore & the Mar-Kays . A big band consisting of members from [...]
Le nouveau fer de lance de la scène afro-beat est de retour à Paris et promet de faire trembler les murs du Trianon ! Après avoir conquis un public en liesse à la Bellevilloise par deux fois en mai 2009 et mars 2011 et après avoir retourné le Cabaret Sauvage en avril 2010, le combo made in Ottawa, se posera dans le beau théâtre du Trianon vendredi 8 juillet pour présenter son nouvel album Rising Sun . Signé sur le label Strut Records , véritable laboratoire des [...]
Skeletons' new album, People, continues their rich mash-up of freak-folk and prog-rock, all while remaining separate from other contemporaries like Timber Timbre, Man Man, and Bruce Peninsula. People explores fuzzy narratives with fictional characters as idiosyncratic as the five-piece's bustling sound, with producer Rusty Santos masterfully keeping Skeletons' hypersensitive ambition in check. [...]

L'édition 2010 du Festival de Jazz à La Défense est comme à l'accoutumée pleine de surprises. Le coup d'envoie sera donné le 18 juin avec une série de 4 concerts exceptionnellement à Colombes, Suresnes et Vanves. Le reste de la programmation se déroulera bien évidemment sur le Parvis de La Défense avec un panel d'artistes plutôt croustillant: Eric Legnini , Fanga , The Soul Jazz Orchestra , Miss Platnum , Bojan Z et Sophie Hunger pour ne vous en citer que quelques-uns. Comme chaque année le [...]
With only six members, Souljazz's sound is surprisingly fleshed out
I know it goes against most people's overwhelming desire to have the inspiration for each and every song to have traveled from war-torn and impoverished African nations, but truth be told Ottawa's Souljazz Orchestra have shown more courage and talent on Rising Sun than they achieved on either of their previous two, Afrobeat heavy efforts. In the past, the band was an Afrobeat machine - which will always leave "educated and current" white music loving fan happy - but the Ottawa band revealed more influences and talent on Rising Sun and have grown well [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , New Music , Canada Listening to the last record by Ottawa's Souljazz Orchestra , one would likely be too swept up in the slamming Afrobeat sounds to notice the name 'souljazz' had little to do with the band's actual sound (or, for that matter, that the sextet is pretty svelte for an orchestra). But jazz with a backbeat has always been a fundamental part of the group's arsenal, and their new album ' Rising Sun' puts this back into focus. [...]
Canadian afrobeat upcomers Souljazz Orchestra has a new offering on our favorites Strut , called Rising Sun. We've covered their previous albums on Toronto's Do Right! here on undomondo , and enjoyed their part in the new wave of afrobeat revival, yet it's safe to say that the orchestra hasn't reached that fine point of diversity until Rising Sun which effectively marks them as a soulful afro/jazz combo. Especially like the Build an Ark-ish cosmic / spiritual soul love on some tracks. Make sure you don't miss their European tour ! [...]
I received this Rising Sun a bit back and have been slacking on getting a post up. The record has been in my car for the past month and I really enjoy it. Souljazz Orchestra is a Canadian ensemble who mixes soul-jazz sound of the '60s and '70s (if the title didn't give it away!) with heavy Afro-beat. Check out a track. The group also has a video for another song off the album: Mp3: Soul Jazz Orchestra - "Mayama" [...]
Pendant ce temps, à Vera Cruz, The Souljazz Orchestra sort un album entièrement instrumental, délaissant légèrement le coté afrobeat pour le jazz. Le titre ci dessous n'est pas le meilleur mais c'est une reprise du chef d'œuvre Negus Negast de qui on sait. Onsrefait pas. Cabaret Sauvage le 15 Avril. The Souljazz Orchestra - Negus Negast [extrait de l'album Rising Sun [...]
The Souljazz Orchestra: Mamaya From: Rising Sun [2010, Strut] It's been an exciting year or so for African music at Strut. In addition to releases from one of my musical heroes (Mulatu Astatke) and the Nigeria 70 series , there's the Jimi Tenor / Tony Allen Inspiration Information album, and this March will see a reissue of the seminal Duncan Brooker compilation Afro Rock Vol. 1 (I'll try to post a track from that one coming up as well). But this project holds [...]
CD REVIEW Souljazz Orchestra: Rising Sun (Strut) I have to admit a dismissive attitude toward this album when it arrived in my mailbox. I expected perhaps some faux-retro 1970s soul tracks, perhaps with a James Brown cover tossed in for good measure. I mean, these guys are from Ottawa, for heaven's sake, not a particular hub of funkiness in my experience. But I popped it in, and the lethargic horns of the 3-minute opening track "Awakening" did little to shift my position. [...]

The Souljazz Orchestra , is Afro-jazz at it's best. 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 analog grit intact. Great stuff. For fans of Antibalas, Budos Band, Apples The Souljazz Orchestra (Myspace) Hometown: Ottawa, Ontario Canada Album: Rising Sun (info) [...]

Profitons de ces derniers beaux instants d'été pour profiter à fond d'une playlist idéale. Et dans toute playlist idéale d'été, il faudrait y trouver en bonne place The Souljazz Orchestra et son fameux Mista President . Un pépite qui rayonne depuis des mois comme la reine des chansons d'apéro, elle devait donc être présenté ici avant que le mois de Septembre montre son nez. Bon plan: sur leur site , on peut télécharger des extraits de tous les titres de leur album ( Freedom No Go Die ), de quoi donner [...]
