EXPERIENCE “LIFE AND TIMES” WITH JAZZ FUNK SOUL

jazzfunksoulcover

When you combine three powerhouse musicians who have had amazing careers for decades, you are in for a masterful musical journey. Jazz Funk Soul was formed in 2014 with the late Chuck Loeb. The group made an instant impact and realized they had something very special. When the music world lost Chuck Loeb, it was obvious that no one could fill his shoes. However, Paul Jackson, Jr. had been filling in for Loeb when the band was on the road performing. Paul previously worked with Jeff and Everett in their individual careers, and they embraced the musical language he brought into the group. “LIFE AND TIMES,” the groups latest project, is set to be released on January 25th. The single “Windfall” was an obvious first release and a new sound from the project. It perfectly displays the individual gifts that each member possesses. Jeff, Everette, and Paul each believe that working together propels them to constantly reach higher levels of musicianship.

Listen to Jeff, Everette, and Paul discuss the project with me: 

JAZZ FUNK SOUL MEANS “MORE SERIOUS BUSINESS”

The super trifecta otherwise known as Jazz Funk Soul started 2016 off with their latest album “More Serious Business.” The group is comprised of guitarist Chuck Loeb, saxophonist Everett Harp, and pianist Jeff Lorber. Each member distinctly represents artistry that is well-respected, and combined, they have sold millions of albums. Amidst working on “More Serious Business,” Loeb, Harp, and Lorber individually enjoyed successful solo projects. Jeff describes the chemistry between them as fun and challenging. As a cohesive unit, they respect one another’s talents and have found a way to harmoniously blend them. “More Serious Business” has ten original songs that keenly represent the varying yet similar styles of the trio. The lead single “You’ll Know When You Know”–written by Harp–is soulful and funky.
