About the Jazz & Funk Era (1970s–Early 1990s)
The Jazz & Funk era gave rise to a revolution in sound — where intricate jazz harmonies met irresistible funk grooves. From the 1970s through the early 1990s, artists like Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Grover Washington Jr., The Crusaders, and Weather Report created a bold new style that moved both body and soul.
This genre-blending movement produced timeless classics such as “Chameleon,” “Just the Two of Us,” “Mr. Magic,” and “Give Me the Night,” inspiring generations of musicians and listeners alike. The music of this era continues to define the pulse of modern jazz, soul, and R&B.
