The amazing Ottawa based Souljazz Orchestra nip over from Canada for a rare appearance. Well known as one of the worlds tightest outfits, they bridge the gap between the worlds of funk and afrobeat, all the while staying open to the exploration of related genres, from boogaloo to soul, from highlife to jazz. Not to be missed!
