Show Review: Souljazz Orchestra

Ottawa's Souljazz Orchestra coaxes more varied sounds from drums, keys, and three types of saxophone than most full orchestras due from a much broader selection of instruments. For my first show at World Cafe Live, I was pessimistic about the chances of people getting on their feet, but the unique blend of originals and covers of Fela Kuti, James Brown, and others simply compelled movement. If you get a chance to see them, do it. I bought the vinyl over and above the price of a ticket at World Cafe. They are that good.
