It was at the initiative of pianist / keyboardist Jean-Luc Briançon that the formation was born. The latter having been trained at the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles , was soon attracted by the jazz sounds, which he showed by participating and winning with his formation of the time: The St Graal Project, the Musicians Institute Contest of 1992 in the category of instrumental fusion. Following this first experience the musician was given the opportunity to record his first album Out of America . The desire to create a second album when he returned to settle in France was present without having a real desire to form a group. It was finally the 2001 Jazz à Vienne festival which spotted the project and offered to present it on stage. From then on, Abigoba became a full-fledged urban jazz band recognized throughout the Auvergne - Rhône-Alpes region and beyond. The orchestrated themes intermingle with improvisations, particularly in a universe largely influenced by Miles Davis , Herbie Hancock or Josef Zawinul . This combination of retro influences and contemporary creativity gives a particularity to this original concept [ ref. desired] . Based on the notion of encounters and a mix of different musical trends, the band's practice is to invite musicians from diverse backgrounds while retaining its main influence: jazz.  His evolution was soon marked by a gradual transition from jazz fusion ( Chick Corea Elektric Band, Spyro Gyra ) to acid jazz (Groove collective, Ronny Jordan ), before moving towards electro jazz and nu jazz ( Erik Truffaz , St Germain ). These collaborations increase its capacity of adaptation and evolution Since its beginnings in 2000.

During this great period, the different groups came together to give birth to a number of albums by participating in the project. In fact, it was in 2000, even before the training was formalized, that their first Strange World album was released in Vieux-Lyon at the premises of the production Nuage 7, also created by Jean-Luc Briançon. Among the participants, China Moses , Erik Truffaz , Hawa, Amanda Zamolo ( Morcheeba Singer, Dive Deep & Tour album), or more recently DJ Shazz and Ordœuvre (Matmon jazz), have brought and left a clearly identifiable stylistic imprint [ ref . desired] that this concerns albums or live Over time, some artists leave the training when others make their arrival. Since 2013 , the project's promoter and his new team has revamped the musical colors of Abigoba. Represented by a quintet initially instrumental end, today the leader is accompanied by Franck Boutin-Albrand acoustic and electronic percussion, Raphael Minfray on trumpet , Yann Van Eijk on drums and Terence Vincent on low. It is also the voice of two new guests, one being that of Sabine Matomswe Kouli, Lyon diva of Gospel and the second being that of Avril McGourty, Irish pop singer.  It is during the year 2014 and from this new state of mind that the album Scattered Legacy is elaborated. 

The first intention is to offer a content almost entirely recorded live to give a more alive side. Always drawing inspiration from the world of electric jazz , the album also shows its evolution by accentuating a pop side already used in other productions as with a revival of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven.
