The Solos Unit
Describing themselves as souljazz for the 21st century. this guitar trio balance the funky directness of R& B,against the subtle lyricism of the traditonal jazz,creating a rich,lush smorgasborg of warm earthy tones filled with spiritual energy that transcends the usual genre labels such as acid jazz , funk bop or progressive soul. Even as they stretch the limits of sound they somehow stay rooted in their own blues filled, soul laden jazz groove mythology.its an honest music that attempts not only to bridge the divisons within the music world,but touch those that exist within the human soul as well. 15 is prud to have them as part of the festival.
