About No Time Like The Future
Amazon.com From the opening bars of "Wild and Peaceful" (almost a description of the group's style) with its soaring strings, crystalline piano, and flawless vocal harmonies, it's apparent that No Time Like the Future is rich with Incognito's patented blend of soul and finesse. "It Ain't Easy," with its refrain of 's "What's Goin' On," is a classic funk outcry; "Fearless" is a wordless chant with some great rhythm guitar and booting jazz saxophone; "Nights Over Egypt" backs another great vocal with popping bass and orchestral atmospherics; "Black Rain" mixes exotic drumming with some subliminal dissonance. Producer-composer-guitarist Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick has added string arrangements by Simon Hale, appearances by the horns of the hot Cuban band , and the performances of small army of R&B singers (, especially) and British contemporary jazz players (Ed Jones stands out on tenor and soprano). The result is an irresistible combination of strong songs and pulsing rhythm tracks, all polished to slippery perfection. -- Adam Rains Review British soul/jazz/funk group Incognito has been through some - well - interesting times during the last couple of years. The group's latest CD, No Time Like the Future, took two years to record because the group's braintrust, Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick, was rebuilding his basement recording studio after it was destroyed in a flood. "In adversity, people rally around you, and you realize who are your friends and which are the people who don't want to get their hands dirty," says Bluey of the cleanup effort. "There are so many musicians on this album [more than 50] because musicians I hadn't seen in years were around and saying, 'Can I help you?' and I would say, 'Since you're here, do you fancy playing a little?'" --- JAZZIZ Magazine Copyright © 2000, Milor Entertainment, Inc.
