Next (Soulive Album)
''Next'' is an album by Soulive that was released on March 12, 2002. It was produced by Jeff Krasno. ''Next'' brought a new chapter into the history of Soulive, and it marked the first time that the band toured as a quartet (with saxophonist Sam Kininger). Next built upon the success of the previous year's release, Doin' Something, with heavy driving beats and harmonized melodies. Next mirrored the great organ/guitar/sax era of the 60's, and built upon that 60's feel with reminiscent songs like "Tuesday Night's Squad" and "Alkime". Next also depicted a substantial hip-hop influence with rappers like Black Thought, featured on "Clap!", and Talib Kweli, featured on "Bridge to 'Bama (Hi Tek Remix)". Dave Matthews was also a guest on the track "Joyful Girl".

Jazz
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its roots are in blues, ragtime, European harmony, African rhythmic rituals, spirituals, hymns, marches, vaudeville song, and dance music. Since the 1920s Jazz Age, it has been recognized as a major form of musical expression in traditional and popular music. Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, complex chords, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation. As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. However, jazz did not begin as a single musical tradition in New Orleans or elsewhere. In the 1930s, arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, ...
