However fans choose to label Incognito's sound in the post-acid jazz world of 2008, it's clear that their feisty mix of retro-soul, brass, funk, and jazz truly lived up to the title of their album Adventures in Black Sunshine. Incognito's uniquely funky, retro-soul sound is so urban that it may have seemed odd to call their Heads Up debut Tales from the Beach -- until one realizes that the beaches Maunick is referring to are those on his native island of Mauritius. At a generous 15 tracks, Tales from the Beach gives ample time to a handful of lead vocalists -- Joy Rose, Tony Momrelle, and Imaani -- who showcase the true ensemble energy that's made Incognito such a powerful force in post-acid jazz groove music. ~ Jonathan Widran|
