an acid jazz project with surprisingly deep roots in the 1970s
jazz/funk/fusion world, incognito was originally formed by
jean-paul maunick (aka bluey) and paul "tubbs" williams. both were
leaders of the late-'70s disco-funk group light of the world. who
scored several moderate british hits including a cover of "i shot
the sheriff." just after the release of light of the world's third
lp (check us out), maunick and williams shifted the lineup slightly
and renamed the conglomeration incognito.
incognito debuted with the single "parisienne girl" and released
the 1981 lp jazz funk, but were inactive during the rest of the
1980s. maunick continued to write material for his group, even
while working with maxi priest and others. (williams later moved to
finland.) by the beginning of the 1990s, dj legend and early
incognito fan gilles peterson had founded the talkin' loud label,
and he made incognito one of his first signings. the 1991 single
"always there" (with vocals by jocelyn brown) became a top ten hit
as part of britain's booming acid jazz scene, prompting the release
of incognito's second album overall, inside life. it was largely a
studio affair, with maunick and engineer simon catsworth directing
a large cast with many of the best musicians in britain's fertile
groove community.
with 1992's tribes vibes & scribes, maunick added a more
established vocalist, the american maysa leak. a cover of stevie
wonder's "don't you worry 'bout a thing" became another incognito
hit, and the album ascended britain's pop charts even as it rose on
america's contemporary jazz charts. third album positivity became
the group's biggest album success, with much attention across
europe as well as britain. leak unsuccessfully attempted a solo
career with blue note, leading to the temporary vocal replacement
pamela anderson (not the baywatch pin-up) on 1995's 100░ and
rising. leak returned, though, appearing on the following year's
beneath the surface. incognito later expanded its discography with
1996's remixed, 1998's tokyo live and 1999's no time like the
future.
