 This week on The Purple Room, we took a deep dive into the world of jazz-influenced soul—where tradition, innovation, and culture come together to create something truly unique. We explored the bold sounds of jazz and the soulful rhythms that tap into the emotional depth and power of the human experience. From the smooth, heartfelt grooves of the American scene to the rich influences from Africa and the Caribbean, Black classical music has long been a powerful vehicle for creative expression and cultural storytelling.
