Plunky & Oneness

Plunky & Oneness, led by Richmond, Virginia-based saxophonist, vocalist, and bandleader J. Plunky Branch, blends Afrocentric grooves with jazz, funk, and soul in a genre-defying mix. A pillar of the Black music avant-garde since the 1970s, Branch’s project (originally called Oneness of Juju) became famous for fusing spiritual jazz with African rhythms and danceable grooves, earning cult classic status with albums like *Space Jungle Luv*. Recent releases like *Love Is Everywhere* and *Afroclectic* continue their tradition of uplifting, rhythm-driven positivity, while remixes (see the house, drill jazz, and hip-hop twists on *I’ll Be There*) prove their sound adapts effortlessly to modern styles. Whether collaborating with vocalists like Chyp or dropping late-career surprises like the vibrant *Juju Jazz Funk*, Plunky & Oneness remains a bridge between funk’s golden era and today’s genre-blurring beats.
