"Who is Jack Herrera?" you ask. Well Jack isn't one, but three: namely Silky Deluxe, DominiQuinn (One Word) and Boogotti aka Jon B, men with the spirit of Stevie, Roy Ayers, and Marvin coursing proudly through their veins, about to take their rightful place among their organically soulful contemporaries such as Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, The Roots, and A Tribe Called Quest. Although Jack Herrera features platinum selling solo artist Jon B and he played a pivotal role in the band's formation and record deal with Yab Yum/Epic, he's keen to stress that Jack Herrera is totally a group project, with no leaders. Silky Deluxe and DominiQuinn are as equally important in the group as himself. "It's all about the music," he says. "The important thing I want people to know about me is that I'm a musician, so rather than the emphasis being on me and my voice, it's on the band as a whole, the songwriting and production. Piano is my first instrument so when you see Jack Herrera play live, I'm more behind the keyboards. Although stylistically it's different, conceptually it's kind of the same as when Phil Collins did his solo things and then he did the albums with Genesis." Indeed, the vibey jazz-soul/hip-hop of Jack Herrera couldn't be more in contrast with the polished R&B radio formatted appeal of Jon's solo work. "Jack Herrera is the epitome of what soul music stands for which is originality and depth," he claims proudly. "There's also a lot more hip-hop coming with Jack Herrer
