Lest We Forget What We Came Here to Do cover art

Led by visionary saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings, the British jazz quartet utilizes a highly unorthodox lineup featuring a tuba instead of a bass guitar and two competing drummers. The resulting compositions are ferociously rhythmic, blending the intensity of Caribbean calypso and West African afrobeat with contemporary London club energy. It established them as one of the most vital acts within the UK jazz explosion.
