Eight teenage musicians from Memphis have formed a dynamic big band called The Soul Ingredient. This talented ensemble, which came together through the Central High Jazz Band and Memphis Jazz Workshop, blends jazz, funk, and R&B influences. Their debut album, "The Cook Book," featuring 10 original tracks, is scheduled for release on July 12. The recording process for "The Cook Book" took place last summer at Archer Studios and was produced by Kevin Houston.
The group will commemorate the launch of "The Cook Book" with a special concert on Sunday, August 2, at The B-Side in Memphis. Most of the band members, having recently graduated high school, are heading to various universities, including UT Knoxville, Temple, and Berklee College of Music. Despite their future academic pursuits, the members are committed to continuing their musical collaboration in Memphis and plan further recordings later this year.
