INCOGNITO
Surreal
Shanachie

Surreal defined means “dreamlike, fantastic, unreal.” The latest recording from the world’s #1 Soul Jazz group, Incognito, is indeed SURREAL with a vibrance that is deep with color and drenched with grooves dipped in honey, warm horn arrangements and sweet, moving vocals with that soul-stirring, signature funky bass drive! When Incognito puts out a new album in the spring it means that summer is going to be filled with sunshine and music that brings to mind all the good vibes of the 1970’s… a jazz feel with elements of Chicago, Earth, Wind & Fire, WAR, Tower of Power… you know the soundtrack I’m talking about. Incognito’s fearless leader, Jean-Paul “Bluey” Maunick definitely does, and he has managed to keep it alive and harness all the love and happiness of a bygone era and filter it through a nu kind of cool! Featured on this 14-track powerhouse new release is the queen of the British Soul Jazz scene, Natalie Williams, up and coming superstar Mo Brandis and the incomparable singing sensation Maysa! Turn summer on now with Incognito’s SURREAL! ~SANDY SHORE
