Incognito's second release of 2006, BEES & THINGS & FLOWERS, finds the London-based acid-jazz ensemble--led by mastermind Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick--offering up a collection of covers, remixes, and previously unreleased tunes. Featuring a wide array of vocalists, including Carleen Anderson and Maysa, the set is consistently engaging, particularly when its revisits and reworks soulful Incognito classics such as "Always There" and "Deep Waters."

Masterminded by sonic guru Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick, Incognito was one of the most prominent British acid-jazz acts of the 1990s. Deftly blending jazz, R&B, soul, and funk, the ensemble--which has included vocalists Maysa Leak and Jocelyn Brown, among others--excelled at smooth tunes equally suited for the club or the lounge. While the group's heyday was the early `90s, Maunick remained active in subsequent years, issuing well-received outings such as 2003's WHO NEEDS LOVE and 2006's ADVENTURES IN BLACK SUNSHINE.
