From the very opening bars of Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City", taken from their current Rounder album Unlock Your Mind, the Soul Rebels had the entire QEH off their seats.
The continuous set featured the reggae-fied uplift of the title track, the dazzling call-and-response interplay between the two trumpets in "Turn it Up" - complete with some rather nifty coordinated footwork from the band - the blistering grooves of "My Time", "Night People" and "I Made it", plus their surprising reinvention of "Sweet Dreams are Made of This". We heard the seismic collision of jazz, funk and rap - and what a powerful sound it was.
