The Souljazz Orchestra album launch party has been rescheduled for Friday December 8th, 20117 at Velvet Underground after show cancellation due to power outage at Lee's Palace. The band's latest LP 'Under Burning Skies’ (Do Right Music / Strut Records) is currently sitting #1 on Earshot - The National International Chart (for 5 week straight and counting).  After the disappointment of last Friday's show cancellation, the band is preparing for special explosive show in Toronto, their final show of the year, and have added DJs John Kong and Jason Palma to the bill.

 

Since first arriving on the scene at the turn of the millennium, Ottawa's Souljazz Orchestra has never stopped pushing the limits of its signature sound: an explosive clash of soul, jazz and tropical styles, unleashed by majestic horns, pulsating keyboards, and earthquaking percussion. Turbulent times call for strong voices and the Souljazz Orchestra’s new set 'Under Burning Skies' packs a heavy lyrical punch, with wry observations and an urge for progressive change. Musically, the band continues to progress, recently incorporating ‘80s vintage synthesizers and early drum machines, bringing touches of lo-fi disco, boogie and electro to their trademark sound.

Celebrating their 15th year, the three-time Juno nominated ensemble continues to be an unstoppable force. They have played to audiences across the globe and have shared the stage with Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, and Femi Kuti. The band is fresh off an incredible 22 shows in 10 countries European album release tour in October 2017. 

 

Prior their European tour, they were invited to CBC Toronto HQ to host a "First Play Live' concert for their fans, the full session was filmed live off the floor and available to watch here: http://ow.ly/1zOT30ghgtY
