Search - Ted Sirota & Rebel Souls :: Seize the Time (Dig)

* Chicago-based drummer Ted Sirota formed the avant-garde post-bop group Rebel Souls in 1995 and quickly became one of Naim's stalwart jazz artists, with three stunning True Stereo recordings with Naim engineer Ken Christianson: Rebel Roots (1996), Propaganda (1998), and Vs The Forces of Evil (2001).
* The Rebel Souls have a unique formula comprising afro-pop, funk, reggae, ska, and hip-hop underpinned by the rebellious jazz and socially-aware improvisation of the 1960s. "Ted Sirota has put together a band that includes some of the better young musicians in Chicago who can play on both sides of the inside and outside split in jazz aesthetics." -- New York Times
