San Diego’s 9-piece (mostly) instrumental combo The Sure Fire Soul Ensemble, have always consistently and effectively melded together Jazz and Funk. With their current lineup of Tim Felten on keys, Jake Najor on drums, Omar Lopez on bass, Kiko Cornejo Jr on conga/percussion, Aquiles “Lito” Magana on guitar, Wili Fleming on trombone, Sheryll Felten on percussion, and both Jesse Audelo & Travis Klein on saxophone & flute, SFSE maintains their commitment to keeping it funky, but always dares to go where they haven’t gone before and, as a result, breaks intriguing new ground in their overall sound.
