Soul Jazz

Soul jazz, or funky jazz, is a jazz subgenre that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, influenced by hard bop, blues, soul, gospel, and rhythm and blues. It is often characterized by organ trios with the Hammond organ and small combos featuring saxophone, brass, electric guitar, bass, drums, piano, vocals, and electric organ. The genre reached its peak popularity before the rise of jazz fusion in the late 1960s and 1970s. Soul jazz shares close ties with hard bop and is known for its distinctive groove, exemplified by musicians like Horace Silver.
