Neo Soul Jazz Events This Week in Rotterdam

About Neo Soul Jazz

Neo soul-jazz is a contemporary fusion genre that emerged in the late 1990s as a sophisticated bridge between the improvisational depth of jazz and the rhythmic grooves of progressive soul. Characterized by the prominent use of Fender Rhodes pianos, electric bass, and syncopated drumming influenced by hip-hop's "drunk" beats, it emphasizes harmonic complexity alongside a relaxed, soulful vibe. The genre evolved from the Soulquarians movement, blending traditional acoustic jazz instrumentation with modern studio production techniques and smooth vocal delivery. Its mood is typically introspective and laid-back, acting as a stylistic successor to acid jazz while maintaining a stronger focus on instrumental virtuosity and rhythmic experimentation within a commercial soul framework.

Also known as: Nu soul-jazz
