Joint Effort by Tacuma Bradley's Unity Band
The Unity Band actively cultivates sonic experiments that fuze elements of Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk and World music. Envisioned by Brooklyn native, Tacuma Bradley, the band seeks to render out good vibes and positive energy from anyone and anything within earshot. Using horns, drums, bass, keys, guitar and the human voice, they blend rhythm and sound to create a space of openness so we (all people) can communicate on another level.
"This album is dedicated to my late father, Philip Bradley. You went over to the other side before I was two years old, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Even though you're gone physically, your spirit lives on in me and helps guide me through this unpredictable existence.
I could easily wallow in feelings of self-pity and sadness, but I know you don't want that. I know you want me to be happy and free and this album is a product of that.
My love for you knows no bounds. Forever missing you."

The word Unity can conjure up thoughts of fellowship and camaraderie. This is exactly the feeling the Unity Band aims to incite with their music and live show. Their sets are filled with improvisations and original compositions which have been further imagined over the space-time continuum; as they continue their search for a sound rife with elements of J Dilla, St. Germain and The Headhunters.
