Incognito

The enduring success of Incognito is one of the great stories of UK music during the last four decades. Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick and Incognito, formed in 1979 and celebrating over 45 years of positive vibes and undiluted Jazz-Funk. Bluey has also explored Incognito off-shoot projects, including the largely instrumental group called Citrus Sun, which was inspired by Bluey’s desire to form a band with legendary jazz guitarist Jim Mullen. Initially formed in 2000 and comprised of Incognito alum, Citrus Sun has released another 3 albums from Dôme Records. Additionally, in 2005, Bluey formed the Hope Collective and released the single “Give & Let Live” on Expansion, in support of the Asian tsunami victims and the people of Darfur in the Sudan. The single featured an all-star lineup that included Chaka Khan, Steve Winwood and Omar. May 2015, another single, “Send Your Love”, to raise funds for UNICEF to aid the people of Nepal following the massive earthquake. Now over 40 years on, the Bluey and Incognito story remains a uniquely Great British adventure. From Top 10 hits to producing and collaborating with legendary artists — from R&B icons and powerhouse vocalists to contemporary jazz musicians to international multi-instrumentalists and songwriters, including George Benson, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Philip Bailey, Jocelyn Brown, George Duke, Al Jarreau, Marcus Miller, Paul Weller, Maxi Priest, Mario Biondi — Bluey Maunick can take his place among the greats of global soul.
