Formed in London in 1991, the British jazz rap group Us3 was established by producer Geoff Wilkinson alongside member Mel Simpson. The duo drew inspiration from the Blue Note Records catalog, famously sampling the label's jazz archives for their debut album, Hand on the Torch. Throughout their career, the group has maintained a significant connection to the jazz tradition, releasing music through both Blue Note and EmArcy Records.
