* One Destiny (2015) * Full Length Album

African Jazz Review's "Big Band of the Year", "Big Band Release of the Year" and "Big Band Party Release of the Year" in reference to One Destiny with honorable mentions going to Janaya Collins (Female Vocalist), Jason Moses (Keyboards & Piano), Dave Moses (Saxophones), Horn Section (Jeremy Starpoli, Jason A. Mosall, Dave Moses, Eddie Linehan) http://www.africanjazz.info/music2015.html
"Shokazoba have released a killer funk record with well-written topical lyrics, excellent production (courtesy of Mark Alan Miller) and sweet cover art. Tight, extended hornlines to go with some searing guitar, polyrhythmic bliss and urgent subject matter. A blend of instrumentals and lead vocals from three different voices, everything here is well done. One of the best funk/afrobeat large ensembles out there." – DJ Andujar of Peace & Rhythm Records
