Pioneers of the London acid jazz scene, the Brand New Heavies
translated their love for the funk grooves of the 1970s into a sophisticated
sound that carried the torch for classic soul in an era dominated by Hip
Hop. Formed in 1985 by drummer/keyboardist Jan Kincaid, guitarist
Simon Bartholomew, and bassist/keyboardist Andrew Levy, longtime
school friends from the London suburb of Ealing, TBNH were originally an
instrumental unit inspired by the James Brown and Meters records its
members heard while clubbing the rare groove scene in vogue at the
moment. The trio soon began recording their own music. One thing lead
to another, and now, twenty years later TBNH are world famous, they have
put out six great albums, many singles and an endless stream of hits.
