Like Jamiroquai, Icognito is one of those British bands that’s faithfully carrying the torch for good ol’ American seventies-styled jazz-funk & soul better than anybody in the USA is doing these days. And Incognito, formed 31 years ago, is arguably the first of these so-called acid jazz outfits that emerged from the London scene in earnest during the 90s.
Today brings the release of their 14th official studio release, Transatlantic RPM, and this one’s got a few big time stars guesting on it. A full review to give you the whole lowdown is forthcoming soon, but in the interim, here’s are streams from a couple of tracks from that album.
Speaking of “lowdown”…
