Product Description
A new project is born from Incognito! Bluey conducts three formidable musicians selected from among many talented individuals, expressing the "soul" that can only be born in London, including a selection of songs that "get it"! Francis Hilton (bass), who is Bluey's right-hand man and also works as a DJ and was featured on Utada Hikaru's "Fantome"; Francisco Sales (guitar), who is favored by Bluey and has also released solo works; and Francesco Mendoria (drums), who is well-known for his powerful and dynamic improvisations. This debut Thames River Soul album by these three artists boasts a dense, album-worthy density despite only containing four tracks! Their selection, a blend of "digging" skills and entertainment value, includes: Billy Preston's 1973 US No. 1 hit "Will It Go Round In Circles," performed in his signature Incognito sound by Omar George Benson's mellow groove "Love ?~ Love," penned by Quincy Jones' right-hand man Rod Temperton, transformed into smooth house by Kenny Thomas Led Zeppelin's quintessential hit "Stairway To Heaven," performed in a neo-soul groove by Vanessa Haynes Herbie Hancock's "I Thought It Was You," a standout track from Kimiko Kasai's free-soul masterpiece "Butterfly," performed in a West Coast mellow groove by Imani will also be going on a nationwide tour in July under the name Thames River Soul & Citrus Sun!
