Positivity  by Incognito

The 1993 album Positivity by Incognito is one of the most important pillars of the Acid Jazz movement. Under the guidance of Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick, this record established the band as a global force in the contemporary jazz and soul scene.

Positivity is a masterful blend of soul, funk, jazz fusion, and urban rhythms. It is characterized by the crystal-clear performances of Maysa Leak, who became the "voice" of the group, offering depth and emotion to every track. Its impact was catalytic, as it bridged the traditional jazz sound with the dance grooves of the 90s, making acid jazz accessible to a broader audience and paving the way for collaborations with legends like Stevie Wonder.

The album achieved remarkable commercial success, especially in the U.S. It sold over 350,000 copies in the United States alone. In the United Kingdom, it reached position No. 55.
