When The Expansions self released their first single in 2013, the laid-back jazz funk of Lavender, it quickly gained strong support from soul and rare-groove aficionados including <a href="spotify:artist:1TrfxjXu8quyDw05p2bacX" data-name="Kenny Dope">Kenny Dope</a>, <a href="spotify:user:sllmusic:playlist:7FyfCeTn12v2Cv8i5qX2cv" data-name="Dom Servini">Dom Servini</a>, Patrick Forge and Andy Smith. A run of shows followed and before long, when someone was asking if there was a soul-jazz band around to play with, “The Expansions” was the answer.
Although this popularity meant a hiatus in releasing music, the band have been constantly busy, playing around Europe with legendary British-Ghanaian soul singer, <a href="spotify:artist:2SJ3xpG9fseCPIqePAGp6o" data-name="Andrew Ashong">Andrew Ashong</a> and the exceptional, upcoming talent <a href="spotify:artist:4RB2kk5dmocmMiHFBlmOEt" data-name="Connie Constance">Connie Constance</a>.
You can hear the influences of Idris Muhammad, Grover Washington, even parallels with South London peers <a href="spotify:artist:710FHFQeXKC6dZGCxt7kQh" data-name="Yussef Kamaal">Yussef Kamaal</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6DO2Eyazl6ToBSvp7OGLuF" data-name="Ruby Rushton">Ruby Rushton</a>. But The Expansions have tirelessly worked to create a sound of their own and are very proud, along with label Albert’s Favourites, to finally share it.
