The group scored a major hit in 1994 with “Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)”, a track that displayed the group's fondness for sampling classic recordings from the Blue Note label (in this case, Herbie Hancock's “Cantaloupe Island'). The track was included on their debut album \u003cstrong\u003eHand On The Torch\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album was a result of their connections with Blue Note owner Capitol Records, which gave Simpson and Wilkinson free rein to sample anything from the Blue Note catalog. Together with several musicians and rappers Kobie Powell and Rahsaan Kelly, they sampled a series of Blue Note classics, from Art Blakey and Thelonious Monk, to Horace Sylver and the previously mentioned Herbie Hancock. With the release of Hand On The Torch, Us3 had forged one of the most elaborate union between styles and became one of the best-selling jazz albums on the Blue Note label. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JwBjhBL9G6U\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" name=\"a247970b-67cb-488a-8226-147e94b35b8a\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Us3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42951331512507,"sku":"","price":54.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/0341\/4971\/products\/US3-HANDONTHETORCH.jpg?v=1652894551","url":"https:\/\/bizarromarket.mom\/products\/us3-hand-on-the-torch","provider":"Bizarro Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
