When I was listening to music I found the band US3 who originally performed the song Cantaloop that Jeff Goldblum plays a cover of in his band and I wanted to know what had happened to US3? I know Hand On The Torch was their debut album and Cantaloop was their signature song in the 90's

Did you ever have a copy of US3's Hand On The Torch? I listened to Cantaloop and it's a really cool song. I'm surprised Jeff Goldblum plays a cover of it and I also didn't know that it's also a Herbie Hancock cover as well

Hi, Bestie!
Us3 is a British jazz-rap group founded in London in 1992. Their name was inspired by a Horace Parlan recording produced by Alfred Lion, the founder of Blue Note Records. On their debut album, Hand on the Torch, Us3 exclusively used samples from the Blue Note Records catalogue, all originally produced by Lion.
I think they are still playing but I am not sure
