The singer entered the Powhatan prison in and faced a year term. One day on the yard, Nubi kept hearing what sounded like live instruments coming from a nearby practice room.
We just loved the stuff that we played, and we played it well. Cade entered Powhatan in for his role in a hotel robbery. A friend asked him for a ride north in exchange for gas money.
Instead, he had a bag of guns they could sell. As nighttime fell, the friend robbed a hotel at gunpoint with Cade as his getaway driver.
Both men received six-year sentences. Cade served his full term. In remembering the incident, Cade seems contrite, especially because he ignored the advice of his then-girlfriend: James Carrington, convicted on assault charges, joined Cade, Nubi and the others, bringing a Fender Rhodes electric piano and a synthesizer to the setup.
The band, now known as the Edge of Daybreak, with bassist McEvoy Robinson, percussionist Willie Williams and vocalist Harry Coleman in the lineup, began writing original songs. Carrington contacted Hogue about the idea of financing an album.
He agreed to do so after seeing the band rehearse. Prison personnel inspected Alpha Audio in Richmond and deemed it too risky to secure. Eight prison guards would have had to travel with the band. Without overdub equipment and no time to polish, the band had to get everything right the first time. They were locked up in prison, and this was their thing. Jazzy, groovy, housey—exactly the kind of vibe for a chill morning at home with the sun shining through your window as you nurse a coffee.
