Influences: The sound behind Jumbonics is a soul fired up from Booker T & The MG's, Jimmy Smith, Johnny Hammond, Ramsey Lewis, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Louie Bellson, James Brown, 45 King, Brian Auger, Money Mark, Trouble Funk, The Meters, Madlib, Sweet Charles, Led Zeppelin, Cozy Powell, Blood Sweat & Tears..all heavy rockin'
Sounds Like: The original sound of Jumbonics was mostly instrumental crunchy jazz break & bass heavy tunes with a real snap, crackle & pop in the mix. Often laced with a jolly melody skipping over the top to enhance a vibrant mood.This is slowly adapting towards a more live soulful funk injected sound largely song based featuring Norman Anderson on vocals, Mac & Smooth on hand claps & mix duties..
