The Sound Stylistics are a London-based funk band. Their first album, "Deep Funk", was informally released on the Bruton Music label in 2002, becoming highly popular and a "collectors' dream".[1] Its 2007 official release on the Freestyle Records label led to it becoming the number one jazz download in Japan, and receiving positive reviews.[1] It was also one of Freestyle's best-selling albums.[2]
A 7" vinyl, The Players Theme, was reportedly selling for £250, five years after release.[3]
In 2009, they released the album Greasin' the Wheels, also on Freestyle Records. It showed influences of Latin jazz, psychedelic soul and soul jazz.[2]
Their live performances have also been positively reviewed, a 2007 review of a performance at the Jazz Cafe in London describing it as "an awe-inspiringly vibrant display".[4]
