Soulive came together in Woodstock, New York, in 1999 as a funk and jazz trio built on a lean, deadly setup: Eric Krasno on guitar, Alan Evans on drums, and Neal Evans on Hammond B3 organ, clavinet and bass keys, so the organ bench handles the low end too. It's the classic organ-trio shape, played with a hunger to stretch out.
Their 2002 album Next, which carries "Joyful Girl", is part of a stretch when the trio kept opening the door to guests. Over the years they worked with a rotating cast of horn players, including saxophonist Sam Kininger early on and later trumpeter Rashawn Ross and saxophonist Ryan Zoidis, and in the middle of the decade the singer Toussaint Yeshua joined them for a spell.
Still, the heart of the thing has always been the three of them, and they keep coming back to the original trio on the road, where the grooves get deep and the solos get long.
