LOST SOUL Vol. 1

by LIQUID SOUL

Shawn Robak Hands down the best concerts I ever attended were with these guys... for years on end at the Double Door, and anywhere else in Chicagoland they played after moving there in 2005. Never disappoint - always fresh, fantastic musicianship and improv across the entire spectrum. Literally the most prominent pioneer of Acid Jazz and is still going strong decades later. This album (hopefully the first of many) is an awesome trip down memory lane. Favorite track: REGGAE FREESTYLE (Double Door 1999).

about

Liquid Soul, is the Grammy-nominated eight piece collective led by innovative saxophonist/composer Mars Williams, that has built its reputation on a compelling mix of jazz, hip-hop, funk, free jazz and hard-bop.
Liquid Soul had a Sunday night Chicago residency, starting at the Elbo Room in 1994 and then moving to the Double Door. This residency continued until 2003.
Throughout those years, at least 75% of the shows were documented, either on Cassette, DAT, CDR, or MiniDisc. As far back as 2003, Mars began weeding through the Sunday night archives, specifically looking for Freestyles, which are a big part Liquid Soul's M.O., and found some really great music!
While digging through the tapes, he also found some studio & live recordings of songs that were never released.
These "Lost Soul" recordings are an amazing documentation of Liquid Soul's dedication and journey from starting a weekly residency at a small club in Chicago, to becoming an Internationally renowned Grammy nominated band.
