Rising Sun

Rising Sun is the Souljazz Orchestra's first all-acoustic afro-jazz album. Playing over thirty different instruments, the group creates a rich soundscape of otherwordly jazz, driven by heavy African rhythms and soulful vamps. The esoteric arrangements and fiery improvisations make it one of the Souljazz Orchestra's most unique offerings. "The Souljazz Orchestra is Afro-jazz at its 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." - Rollo & Grady
