f jazz music is the heart of New Orleans, then the Soul Rebels’ music is the blood that it pumps through the city’s body. Soul Rebels are extremely necessary to keep the city’s night life alive during post Katrina, recuperating conditions. Their bodies of audiences continue to flock into the local night clubs for their weekly, sometimes nightly, infusion of the invigorating brass sounds. Previously they’ve taught jazz lovers how to let our “Mind Be Free”. Devoted to being more intimate, they embraced the stage and released “No More Parades.” Dedicated to uplifting New Orleans, they have released another vitalizing CD, “Rebelution.” Like the blood in the human body, Soul Rebels’ music flows through many different veins, or genres. “Rebelution” doesn’t just give us the traditional 2nd line grooves. If you want to step to a smooth tempo, R & B track, or nod your head to Hip Hop, you can do that too. And to complete the nourishment of your body, you can feed your soul with their inspirational track, Change My Life, featuring The Rebel Choir.

ong before “Rebelution” emerged, Soul Rebels have always been praised for their unique blend of hip hop and jazz. “Soul Rebls, which consist of Lumar LeBlanc, Edward Lee, Tannon Williams, Derrick Moss, Winston Turner, Marcus Hubbard, and Erion Williams, has managed to craft a sound based on the structure of a hip hop song while maintaining the soul of a brass band. The consistent melodic grooves at the heart of the band’s music provide a smooth foundation over which rap verses and horn solos alike can flourish without any awkward moments” Where Y’At Magazine, July 2005.
