Lakeview formed in 2010 in New Orleans, inspired by jazz, soul, and R&B traditions. The founding members, trained in classical music and jazz improvisation, released their first EP, City Lights, in 2012. Known for blending vintage sounds with contemporary grooves, they quickly became a staple in local clubs, building a devoted following and establishing themselves as a modern jazz-soul ensemble.
Their debut full-length album, Midnight Waves (2015), earned critical acclaim and featured the hit “Riverflow.” Lakeview has performed at festivals like JazzFest and North Sea Jazz, collaborating with notable jazz artists including Trombone Shorty. Multiple awards for Best Emerging Jazz Group (2016–2018) recognized their innovative approach, with international tours further solidifying their reputation.
Lakeview’s latest album, Reflections (2023), showcases tracks like “Golden Hour” and “Soul Drift.” Their live shows are immersive, blending rich instrumental layers with captivating improvisation.
