Steve Jenkins, Vernon Reid, and Tobias Ralph are three musicians who are in the same musical universe but have never played together in this combination until now. One glance at some of the names in each person’s bio and one can see how much their musical backgrounds overlap. The music that these three make is an intense reflection of a vast array of influences ranging from funk, electronic music, jazz, metal, and free music.
