Celebrating their 45th anniversary, Acid Jazz royalty Incognito return for a ten-show residency. The band continue to push boundaries, so expect an electrifying set of unfiltered jazz, funk and soul. Since 1979 Jean-Paul ‘Bluey’ Maunick has been the driving force of Incognito, keeping the band relevant, forward-looking, and maintaining the perfect balance between classic funk, soul and jazz, without losing their own identity. Incognito emerged from London’s thriving jazz-funk scene as the UK’s first musical jazz, funk and soul collective. Their ever-changing line-up has always championed exciting young talent, giving them the platform to work with legendary musicians, and opening up opportunities beyond the framework of the band. Over 1500 talented individuals have played in Incognito over the years, launching many careers. With long-standing relationships with key tastemakers in the music industry like Gilles Peterson, Jools Holland, and playing with icons such as Chaka Khan, George Benson, Stevie Wonder, Paul Weller and more, Bluey and Incognito’s stamp on the scene is undeniable. The genuine global sensation will be playing a set packed with hits from across their near 20-album back catalogue.
