ARTIST INFO
Jazz Funk Soul (JFS), beginning originally as a touring package idea. Formed in 2014 with founding member 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 guitarist 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.
Combining their talents once again on their 5th Shanachie release (June 2025), 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.
