Live concert film of Incognito at the Jazz à Vienne festival, recorded in 2023 on the stage of the Roman Théâtre antique in Vienne, France, and released by Qwest TV. Formed in London around Jean-Paul « Bluey » Maunick, Incognito is one of the flagship bands of acid jazz that emerged at the turn of the 1980s-90s, alongside the Brand New Heavies and Jamiroquai. This full concert showcases the collective’s DNA: funk grooves, a razor-sharp brass section, soul arrangements and prominent female vocals, notably from Natalie Duncan. Set in Vienne’s Gallo-Roman theatre, one of European jazz’s finest venues, the London outfit delivers a set honed by decades of touring, alternating original compositions with pop-tinged hooks. This live recording, produced for Qwest TV, documents Incognito’s undiminished vitality more than thirty years after its debut. A live concert film ideal for discovering British acid jazz and the stage energy of a cult band of the genre.
