Chicago, IL (Top40 Charts) The Grammy-nominated Liquid Soul is celebrating its 20th Anniversary with a show at Double Door, 1572 N Milwaukee in Chicago, on Sunday, Jan. 20. The show will feature all original members and some very special guests.
Having exploded from a small underground street-jazz sound in Chicago in the mid-1990s, the Liquid Soul universe continues to expand at a dizzying pace. Founded and led by innovative saxophonist/composer Mars Williams (The Psychedelic Furs), the ensemble has developed a trademark mixture of jazz and urban dance music that incorporates everything from R&B to hard-bop to hip-hop to world music and more. Downbeat proclaims that Liquid Soul "sweeps the mold and mildew out of jazz-funk and breathes it back to glorious life."
Liquid Soul have opened for Sting at Madison Square Garden and Central Park, played at the Bill Clinton inaugural parade and 21st century ball and twice rocked South By Southwest, where they were heralded by the Austin American-Statesman as "the single hottest showcase of the festival."
The band's impressive discography includes Make Some Noise (1998), Evolution (2002), and One-Two Punch (2006).
