Incognito was originally formed by Jean-Paul Maunick (aka Bluey) and
Paul "Tubbs" Williams. They debuted with the single "Parisienne Girl" and
released the 1981 LP Jazz Funk, but were inactive during the rest of the
1980s. By the beginning of the 1990s, Gilles Peterson had founded the Talkin'
Loud label, and he made Incognito one of his first signings. In 1992 a cover
of Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'bout the Thing" became a Incognito hit,
and the album ascended Britain's pop charts even as it rose on America's
contemporary jazz charts. Many voices have led Incognito but
Maysa Leak is the
most recognised of all. Incognito represent the perfect fusion among jazz,
funk and grooves, they are pioneers of the acid jazz movement and they are
a still vigent successful band. |
