State Terrorism by The Souljazz Orchestra, from the 2008 album 'Manifesto' Recorded under Do Right! Music’s banner in 2008, this cut from The Souljazz Orchestra’s Manifesto channels tight Afrobeat rhythms through a jazz-funk lens, propelled by Philippe Lafrenière’s deft drumming and punctuated with layered saxophones from Zakari Frantz, Ray Murray, and Steve Patterson. The vibrant, brass-driven arrangement melds effortlessly with Ray Murray’s vocals, carrying the weight of the band’s social consciousness without losing momentum. Hailing from Ottawa with a reputation for blending soul, funk, and Latin-American influences, The Souljazz Orchestra bring an infectious energy here that resonates with dancers and crate-diggers alike. Manifesto is a thoughtful dedication to the memory of William Evan Raymond Murray, and the album’s textured grooves have attracted a discerning following, with collectors regularly seeking out this pressing on CD from Canadian label Do Right!
