One of the best things about living in Chicago!,
By Shaz "oi-you!" (Naples, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Liquid Soul (Audio CD)
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to see Liquid Soul play years ago live at the Double Door in Chicago (also frequented by the much missed Smashing Pumpkins), LONG before they became the sensation they are today. The fact that Bill Clinton invited them to play for him while he was in Chicago is very telling. These guys are amazing- an incredible fusion of acid jazz and R&B blues. Their sound is difficult to accurately describe, since each tune on this CD finds LS wearing a hat of a different color. I've always maintained that truly talented musicians/singers sound incredible live, without all the studio equipment to make them sound better than they really are (ahem- can you hear me, Geri Halliwell?). LS is no exception- they have pulled together the best musicians Chi-Town has to offer and delivered them on one fabulous CD. Don't miss the boat on this one.

Listening to Liquid Soul live is the best audio experience I've ever had; this and their other two discs are the next best thing. Pure audio ecstasy!

John Coltrane meets George Clinton meets Easy E,
By
This review is from: Liquid Soul (Audio CD)
I've followed Liquid Soul since 1994 when they were strictly on the Chicago club circuit. The fact the band has risen to international prominence in the world of acid jazz since then should tell you something. Liquid soul is far more than a mere acid jazz band. This band is a fantastic act that combines Davis/Coltrane be-bop jazz, George Bensonesque guitar, George Clinton funk effects with hip-hop beats and rap.This CD (their first)is nice because it combines some of their studio recordings (with all kinds of trippy effects and samples) with some of their live shows. Liquid Soul used to play every Sunday night at the Elbo Room in Chicago, and then moved to Sundays at the Double Door until 12/99. I believe the live recording portions are from one of their Elbo Room shows. The freestyle rap session at the end by their record-scratching DJ Jessie De La Pena is dope. In my opinion this first submission is superior to the second effort "Make Some Noise" because it shows more dynamic range of the group. It has mellow, trippy parts and harder-edged funky stuff as well. The second album is more in-your-face all the way through. Nevertheless, you will not be disappointed by anything this group puts out because the creativeness, production quality, and talent of the musicians (particularly the punchy horn section) is always top notch.
