Jazz Funk Soul

Smooth jazz supergroup Jazz Funk Soul are known for their sophisticated blend of jazz and groove-based instrumental R&B. They initially emerged in the mid-2010s as a collaborative trio featuring Jeff Lorber, Chuck Loeb, and Everette Harp. They released two albums with 2014's Grammy-nominated Jazz Funk Soul and 2016's More Serious Business. After Loeb's death in 2017, guitarist Paul Jackson, Jr. joined for 2019's Life and Times and 2022's Forecast, both of which honored Loeb and continued to showcase the trio's hooky, groove-oriented sound.
