In covering classic--from the likes of America to Earth, Wind and Fire--this London soul-jazz troupe wisely culls some lush '70s effects and skips over the tasteless ones. The end result: silky strings, slinky vocals, and cushy piles of Rhodes.
Brand new album from Incognito - Bees + Things + Flowers.
It features new arrangements of four Incognito classics – "Always There", "Still A Friend Of Mine", "Everyday" and "Deep Waters" – and covers of such great tunes as Roy Ayers' "Everybody Loves The Sunshine", Earth Wind & Fire's "That's The Way Of The World", "Summer In The City" and a stunning remake of America's "Tin Man". There are also three brand new Bluey compositions. Six tracks feature a 16-piece string section and the line-up of lead vocalists on this radio-friendly album is the strongest ever assembled for an Incognito album – CARLEEN ANDERSON, JOCELYN BROWN, MAYSA, JOY ROSE, IMAANI and TONY MOMRELLE.
