The defenders of Jazz, Funk, and Hip Hop

Grammy Nominated acid jazz pioneers Liquid Soul are a fiery concoction of classy soloists, heavy rhythm merchants and hip-hop cognoscenti. They are a group that thrives on contact with their audience. One cannot help being moved by Liquid Soul‘s legendary live shows. The band’s in-the-tradition repertoire extends from classic compositions by Ornette Coleman and Miles Davis to heavy groove, breakbeats, freestyles and samples. They continue to bridge the musical gap between standard jazz improvisation, funk, soul and Hip Hop. And as always, the band stays true to its roots with a continued philosophy of bringing jazz back to the dance floor. Liquid Soul has performed in 40 + states and throughout Canada and Japan, plus shows in Germany, Turkey, Russia, Austria, Poland, Mexico and beyond…
