Back in the late 1950s, the word 'soul' was becoming a hip buzzword in the lexicon of black America - but it wasn't just a term that described a feeling or mood in relation to music: it had become a potent 'signifier' that defined blackness and the core essence of African-American culture. The concept of 'soul' and 'soulfulness' had originated in the churches of black America and its influence percolated through to black musicians of all musical hues during a decade when the Civil Rights movement and its campaign for racial, social and political equality was gathering pace and momentum. As well as leading R&B musicians, many African-American jazz musicians began tapping into the new consciousness that was starting to take hold in black communities and began making jazz that reflected a newfound sense of pride and joy in their racial identity. This 23-track collection on 2 CDs focuses on Soul Jazz's early years and brings together some of the movement's key performers and recordings from the period 1958-1962. With classic cuts from the likes of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, Herbie Hancock, Horace Silver, Lou Donaldson, Hank Mobley, Jimmy Smith, Ray Charles, Stanley Turrentine and a host of other early pioneers, provides the perfect compilation of a genre and style rarely given the attention and respect it so richly deserves.
