This special, special edition of JAMinc Presents brings you a band whose sound has traveled across decades, across genres, and across cultures. Since the 1970s, they’ve blended jazz, funk, African rhythms, and spiritual soul into a style all their own. Fronted by the visionary saxophonist, composer, and bandleader James “Plunky” Branch, Plunky & the Oneness of Juju has always been about connection — the oneness between rhythm and melody, between mind and body, between community and music.
Their tracks have been sampled by hip-hop legends, spun by DJs around the world, and cherished by fans who believe that music can be both joyful and deeply meaningful. From their iconic album African Rhythms from fifty years ago, to their soulful explorations of love, unity, and consciousness, Oneness has carried the spirit of Afrocentric jazz-funk through the years with unstoppable energy. They’ve played with legends, inspired generations, and proved that groove is universal.
