Us3’s Geoff Wilkinson capturing the spirit of time

18 years ago the British band Us3 made a legend. Sampling a Herbie Hancock composition, the musicians came up with Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) – a song that came to be known by virtually everybody. For years Us3"s Geoff Wilkinson has been mixing jazz and hip hop, always in touch with the emotions and the music taste of the young generation of music-lovers. The music has always been as important to him as the social messages he and guest-rappers address the audience with. For 18 years now. Hip music is the subject of this interview with Geoff Wilkinson by Jazz FM"s Svetoslav Nikolov.
