soul jazz spiritual jazz
Influences: Booker T. & the M.G.'s, The Meters, Jimmy Smith
Karate Boogaloo are a Melbourne instrumental soul and funk band playing organ-driven, groove-heavy music in the lineage of Booker T. & the M.G.'s and The Meters, with a cinematic edge to their original compositions. The band have played together since childhood, and their tight, long-running chemistry gives the sound a loose, playful feel balanced by serious musicianship. Their goofy humour carries into the live show, making it an energetic, crowd-pleasing night for fans of classic soul-jazz grooves.
