WEST, 9:00PM SMALL WORLD JAZZ SERIES II; A SIX WEEK INTRAPLANETARY JAZZ EXPERIENCE - THURSDAYS IN MARCH AND APRILAT LULA LOUNGE www.souljazzorchestra.com Ottawa-based African jazz/funk powerhouse Souljazz Orchestra is one of the hottest bands in the country, and has been taking the world by storm; recently returning form a hugely successful European tour. The group released its latest album, Freedom No Go Die, in September of 2006. This high-energy release features the vocal stylings of Rwandan/Burundian musician Mighty Popo, as well as those of soul sisters Marielle Rivard and Alanna Stuart. The album has since created quite a stir on the international DJ scene: "firing horns, funky keyboards and polyrhythmic beats to rock dance floors" enthused Straight No Chaser, "a sound as tight as the power fists that adorn the cover" raved Exclaim. IDJ has also sung the album's praises: "A marching groove and firing horns evoke not only the spirit of a certain Mr. Anikulapo-Kuti, but also a packed shrine going nuts. Amazing stuff." The listeners of Gilles Peterson's BBC radio show voted the album's opening track, Mista President, as one of the top ten tracks of the year. www.chrisbottomley.com Add the legendary grooves of Toronto bassist & percussionist Chris Bottomley and his Brainfudge collective (featuring Donne Roberts of the African Guitar Summit on guitar) to the mix, and you've got one of the funkiest nights Toronto will see and hear all year. www.smallworldmusic.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
