Legendary jazz-hiphop formation US3 at Creamfields Central Europe!
The Creamfields Festival does not only mean electronic dance music, but also live music. This year‘s Creamfields in Breclav will present a strong concert programme for both days, but the highlight will be the performance of superb British formation US3. The band, who combine jazz and hiphop, had a sellout show in Prague in the middle of April and have also had great success with their brand new album “Stop.Think.Run.“.
The band was formed in 1991 when jazz musician and concert promoter Geoff Wilkinson met Mel Simpson, producer of music for TV shows and ex-pianist for John Mayall. This duo produced the track “Where Will We Be In 21st Century?“ and one year later another track “The Band That Played The Boogie“ came to the notice of the owner of Blue Note Records. He immediately gave them permission to sample any material from Blue Note Records. The duo began working hard and named the project US3 and brought another 3 members on board - Kobie Powell, Rashaan Kelly and Tukka Yoot.
Their first album “Hand On The Torch“ was released in 1993 and included the single Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) which utilised piano parts from the Herbie Hancock track Cantaloupe Island. To date Cantaloop has been their biggest hit and the debut album Hand on the Torch has gone platinum. In 1995 Mel Simpson left the band. Nowadays the group features Geoff Wilkinson and a variety of vocalists (usually new singers for each album). Since their successful debut album they have released a further 6 albums – see the discography below.
At Creamfields Festival they will perform with an 8-member lineup..
