Information About

Soul Jazz




Unlike Hard Bop , soul jazz generally emphasized repetitive grooves and melodic hooks, and Improvisation s were often less complex than in other jazz styles.

Probably the best known soul jazz recording is Ramsey Lewis 's "The In Crowd," a major hit of 1965 . Soul jazz was developed in the late 1950s , and was perhaps most popular in the early 1970s , though many soul jazz performers, and elements of the music, remain popular.

Soul Music is only distantly related to soul jazz – it arose from Gospel and Blues rather than from jazz sources.
