Jazz Funk Soul began originally as a touring package idea formed in 2014 by GRAMMY nominated guitarist Chuck Loeb, along with GRAMMY nominated saxophonist Everette Harp, and GRAMMY winning keyboardist Jeff Lorber. JFS was signed immediately by Shanachie Records as the company realized something special was in the making. The result was their first release, GRAMMY nominated, Serious Business.
After Loeb’s untimely passing in 2017, GRAMMY nominated session guitar legend Paul Jackson Jr. agreed to join Jeff and Everette in continuing JFS’s vision creating a contemporary jazz sound that pushes the envelope. Along with Jackson Jr.’s celebrated sound and rhythm prowess, Harp’s sinuous emotionally charged playing, and Lorber’s ear bending and blistering fusion approach, these three certainly deliver on the expectations derived from the name of the group - Jazz Funk Soul.
Everette Harp has nine Billboard hit solo records and has toured or recorded with Anita Baker, Kenny Loggins, George Duke, Al Jarreau, Marcus Miller, Eros Ramazzotti, and Peter Maffay amongst others.
Jeff Lorber has been a vital musical force throughout a lengthy and successful career featuring multiple Billboard #1 hits.
Paul Jackson Jr. has multiple Billboard #1 solo hits and has been featured on recordings by Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Luther Vandross, Barbra Streisand, The Weeknd, Zendaya, and Daft Punk.
Combining their talents once again on their 5th Shanachie release, Simpatico, Lorber, Harp, and Jackson Jr. continue combining their individual flavors to engage the audience uniquely and expansively. Jazz Funk Soul’s commitment is to bring its listeners infectious grooves, memorable melodies, and challenging playing that push the boundaries of smooth jazz like the contemporary jazz artist that came before them.
