We are a collection of highly skilled & versatile jazz musicians that thrive on popular Funk, soul, and R&B from the 60s & 70s. We perform recognizable instrumental covers of tunes from artists like Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, the Beatles, Sly & the Family Stone, & more. Performances are energetic, feature diverse moods/styles, and are infectiously groovy.
The Soul Impressions are a collective that performs and honors the vibrant and colorful African American pop/soul music from the 60s & 70s. The group performs original arrangements and reimagining of recognizable classics by artists like Roberta Flack, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye.
Our mission is to provide a highly interactive artistic experience in the context of accessible, feel-good music that is consistently rooted in the groove. The Soul Impressions are comprised of heavyweights of the local Madison jazz scene.
A diverse array of Motown, New Orleans funk, R&B ballads, and soulful pop songs makes for an exhilarating musical experience.
Each member of the band has been performing professionally for 2 decades or more and we each bring a diverse creative background to the music. Each of us holds a deep passion & reverence for soul music that feels good and is rooted in groove.
Collectively, we bring out the best in each other and inspire one another to reach for new artistic heights and deep musical communion. As well versed jazz musicians, improvisation & communication plays a pivotal role in our sound/performances.
