UK jazz funk where sophisticated groove and soul intersect.
Bluey's Incognito team up for a mature sound, featuring smooth, funky numbers like "Stay Mine" and "Reach Out."
This album, released by Incognito in the early 2000s, showcases the ideal fusion of jazz-funk and soul. The meticulous rhythm arrangements and smooth horn section stand out, and Bluey's musicality unfolds in a mellower style. "Stay Mine" combines a pleasant bass line with sweet vocals, while "Reach Out" highlights the perfection of the ensemble. This is a mature album that draws on the influence of club jazz while also combining sophisticated pop.
