“When we started, a lot of the guys had studied jazz or grew up playing it,” says percussionist Onome Edgeworth. “At first, we were playing Afrobeat and highlife covers for a year-and-a-half, to get used to the music. The goal was always to write and start incorporating our own sound. When we started writing, we said, there’s no rules. Whatever you want to bring in, bring in. Whatever influence that is, it will find its context within the group of people we have.
“We always felt that our music live feels a certain way, but when we record it, it’s not the same,” Edgeworth admits. “How do we get that energy onto a record? That’s the main thing we went to Miles with. Then, you start playing the songs live, and you have the same problem in the opposite direction. The energy may not feel the same, and that’s because there’s a magic in the studio. It comes back to jazz. The truth isn’t playing it exactly the same.
