Today, Melbourne’s cinematic jazz-funk maestros Surprise Chef announce their new album, *Superb*, out on Big Crown Records. With a focus on lightness and exploration, they seized the opportunity to experiment with a more optimistic and groove-laden sound, while remaining true to their soulful-jazz roots. The result is *Superb* – a bold step forward in their evolution, blending the cinematic soul of David Axelrod with the modern, infectious grooves of Timbaland and The Neptunes, all wrapped in a distinctive Surprise Chef package. Each track was recorded live to tape in a single take, capturing the raw, unfiltered energy of the project. Since their debut in 2020, the band has captivated listeners with their cinematic instrumental jazz-funk and DIY ethos. Now, the group continues to evolve and broaden their sonic horizons, while attracting a growing and passionate audience.
