    Artist description
    Schooled in the grooves of James Brown and the intricate improvisations of modern jazz, Soul Slipper gives an innovative twist to the world of contemporary urban dance grooves. Old-school beats and the ethereal sound of Fender Rhodes meet freshly conceived melodies and harmonies to create a savory blend of jazz and funk. Propelled by distinctly funky bass-lines, blazing guitar solos, and a great depth of soul, the Soul Slipper experience is infectious. While paying equal respect to all the traditions which influence their sound, the band performs original music which breathes new life into the genre of acid-jazz.

    Artist History
    Conceived for the purposes of one of guitarist Josh Suhrheinrich's graduate recitals, the band was so tight and fun to work with that it had to become a full time project. A studio CD will be released in September, while one of those tracks, "Groove #1347" will appear on Warzone Studios compilation disc, "The Calm" that same month. "The Calm" will feature Liquid Soul, Fareed Haque and more.
