about
Egba, or "Electronic Groove & Beat Academy", was a jazz fusion group formed in Stockholm in 1971. Also, Egba is an African tribe living in western Nigeria; this is to indicate the influences of African and Latin-American music on the band's repertoire. Egba was led by trumpeter Ulf Adåker (b. 1945) and saxophonist Ulf Andersson (b. 1940), two musicians with roots in the jazz of the 1960s. Several other musicians of that era also expanded their vocabulary to include the electronic sounds of the day, collaborating with younger musicians whose background was mainly in rock. One of the latter is pianist and keyboard-player Harald Svensson (b. 1954), who has also been involved in other groups, most notably Entra.
