Kevin Holbrough, Ben Lowman Quintet

Funky Soul Jazz Quintet featuring Leeds trombone legend Kevin Holbrough and rising star saxman Ben Lowman

Soul jazz developed in the late 1950s and 1960's, with gospel tinged tunes, and funky beats. It reached public awareness with the release of The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco.

While soul jazz was most popular during the mid-to-late 1960s, many soul jazz performers, and elements of the music, remain popular today.

The Jazz Crusaders, for example, evolved from soul jazz to soul music, becoming The Crusaders in the process. David Sanborn and Maceo Parker are in a line of alto saxophonists that includes Earl Bostic and Tab Smith with Cannonball Adderley, and Lou Donaldson who can claim to be soul-jazz performers.
