The Souljazz Orchestra, formed in Ottawa in 2002, is a premier ensemble in the global deep funk and Afrobeat revival. Led by multi-instrumentalist Pierre Chrétien, the group is defined by a rigorous commitment to analog recording techniques and a pan-African musical philosophy.
B.' s. Over a career spanning two decades, they have evolved from a primarily instrumental jazz-funk outfit into a vocal-heavy, politically conscious powerhouse. They occupy a unique cultural position as a Canadian group that has achieved deep respect within the global Afro-funk scene, often collaborating with legendary African musicians. Critical consensus highlights their impeccable 'period-correct' production and their ability to maintain a high-energy live presence that translates effectively to studio recordings.
