Built around Jean-Paul “Bluey” Maunick, a Mauritius-born singer and sound pioneer, British collective Incognito has built up a small but devoted following through its non-stop stream of new musical ideas and sophisticated, emotionally engaging variations on old stand-by rhythms. Consisting, in its current incarnation, of Maunick, keyboardist Matt Cooper, bassist Francis Hylton, drummer Richard Bailey, trombonist Trevor Mires, multi-instrumentalist Sid Gauld, saxophonist Paul Greenwood and an additional backing vocal crew of around five or six other members, Incognito folds together elements of fusion jazz, gospel and old-time soul.

Recorded live at the 2008 Java Jazz Festival in Jakarta (as the title might clue you into), this two-hour concert offering bills a mix of “poignant soul ballads, funky dynamic numbers and gospel ecstasy,” which it more than lives up to. While the embraced penchant for solos eventually comes across as a bit reductionist and formulaic in its own right, the interpretative skills of the musicians is such that one doesn’t hold much of a grudge, regardless of their previous familiarity with the group. The attractively shot DVD’s track listing is as follows: “I Can See the Future,” “Pieces of a Dream,” “Deep Waters,” “Without You,” “N.O.T.,” “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” “Talkin’ Loud,” “When the Sun Comes Down,” “Morning Sun,” “Always There,” “Clav Interlude,” “Colibri,” “Reach Out,” “Nights Over Egypt,” “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing,” “Everyday,” “I Hear Your Name” and “Still a Friend of Mine.”

Presented on a region-free disc in 4:3 full screen, Incognito’s DVD comes with Dolby digital 5.1 and DTS stereo audio tracks, and is housed in a clear plastic Amaray case.
