These guys are great. Solid, fun live show... drummer and bassist are great. I like the bassists musical judgement and execution. Never heard of them until I found them mentioned in a Craigslist ad (granted, I mainly listen to modern metal).

I love Incognito, heck I love acid jazz... check out the Brand New Heavies, since you've obviously heard of Jamiroquai. I only heard of Incognito last year myself.
Man, you should hear them with their old bassist - Randy Hope-Taylor!
I am digging the Brand New Heavies. I like this sound overall... a little retro and jazzy.
Incognito is a lesson in groovin and lockin down. I find it similar to the old Bernard Edwards/Chic thing as far as bass groove/discipline goes. I haven't kept up with the last few discs but the older stuff was goin to school.

My all time favorite is their first album. Only 3 vocal tracks, the rest is instrumental, some of the best bass grooves I've ever heard.
The band seems to be kinda unknown in the US, I'm surprised some say they only heard of them recently.
Shame RHT doesn't do much these days.
The bass on the first album is actually by Paul 'Tubbs' Williams, an absolute monster. He was like 19 or something at the time as well.

My bad, I meant "Tribes, Vibes, Scribes" with RHT (incl. "Colibri", "Change" & "I love what you do for me").
For some reason I was under the impression it was their first album.
Anyway, great stuff.

I'm a fan.... I don't know who really played what or when, since they appear to have had a long list of changing personnel, but I usually dig it. I tend like the instrumental, more jazzy tracks in the catalog.
I got into them from hearing a couple of tunes on the Weather Channel, of all things.
