Jean-Paul Maunick and his Incognito mates have spent the last 30 years refining and boiling down their version of acid jazz to a smoothly textured, immaculately produced sheen. iBees + Things + Flowers/i has a more retro vibe about it, filled with peaceful soul, stellar vocalists, and a few smartly executed covers. "Summer in the City" is a prime example of the latter, featuring a loopy vocal line, nimbly negotiated by iCarleen Anderson/i, that floats over soft horns and snippets of playful synth. The singers Maunick brings in are often given the spotlight, even on a jazz flight like "Stand;" of course, a singer like iJocelyn Brown/i isn't exactly easy to upstage. At times, the record sacrifices tight structure for wandering bliss, like on the nine-minute iEarth, Wind Fire/i closer "That's the Way of the World." On the other hand, it's not like you can't wait for that nine minutes to end. Maunick, as always, makes it sound like there's all the time in the world. i--Matthew Cooke/i
Album Description
2006 album from this soulful Acid Jazz band. 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. Dome.

incognito new directions with old sensatios August 19, 2008
Jose R. G. Junior (Atibaia, Sao Paulo Brazil)
We must don't forget that Acid jazz is a musical genre that combines elements of soul music, funk, disco, and another moods, any, maybe, beats and sounds of the street. The compositions of this disc, often feature chord structures usually associated with Jazz music, but Bees + Things + Flowers" is an album with a difference. The album 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 as well as a stunning remake of America's Tin Man. Is it new? Only you can answer... Instead all of the vocalists excel on their respective tracks - Joy Rose, on her return to the band's recording line-up after a couple of years touring the world singing with Sting, we can smell the only truth - beats and sound of the funk, like the master George Clinton - American musician and the principal architect of Parliament Funkadelic - sad once time - somewhere in time... are always a masterpiece - for me, you know - Incognito. Thanks.
 Good for the soul... June 18, 2008
Ishmael Abdulrahman (Columbus,Ohio)
Incognito is a oldtime group with a new time sound, this album is neo-soul with a jazzy groove. The band members are about 21 deep, different people take turns singing thru-out the album.Maybe 3 female vocalist 2 male vocalist.The instrument arrangement are pleasan.t The violin, cello, and harp can be heard on different tracks.Its great to hear so many sounds from a modern day band, that's not considered rock or nor jazz. Not since Earth,wind Fire has a modern day group attempted these heights.

CD was in excellent condition. Old tune remix and 1 or 2 new tracks. Interesting.
nice work, bluey March 27, 2008

no, you won't find the uptempo grooves that is their signature work. but listen again, 'cause what you have here is a collection of scaled down pieces that really bring out the high degree of talent these artists have. i'm a vocals person--check out joy on sunshine, imaani on everyday, carleen (my goodness!), jossy!, of course maysa, and of course brother tony! i mean these voices are all unique and are all just plain sweet. as to the musicians, the acoustic guitar on everyday, the piano on tin man...man, just sweet. i could go on and on, but the short of it--if you just wanna bop your head, yea, you might need to go somewhere else. but if you wanna listen and actually hear something, bluey delivers for you, as he always does. that, after all, is his true signature--bringing crack musicians into an organic whole, all towards putting something sweet in your ear. br / br /i'm only here because my old cd got scratched. guess i played it too much. i gotta get another one.

CD came quickly, no problems, but actual CD is a lot of remixes of incognito's old stuff. Wouldn't necessarily say that the remixes are better than the original tracks on my other CDs.
