Yes Manny, it is interesting that the first INCOGNITO L.P. was called "Jazz-Funk". I've always considered that it was an attempt to distance themselves from the term "Brit-Funk" which had been used to describe British attempts at the genre for the previous two or three years.

Generally British attempts at Jazz-Funk/Jazz-Fusion were rawer than their American counterparts in the late '70s and some people veered away from them as a result.

Here is an early FREEEZ track from 1980 which was fairly typical of the "Brit-Funk" sound of the time. This was recorded a year or so previous to their breakthrough hit "Southern Freeze" and musically is far removed from their International Electro-Pop hit "A.E.I.O.U" in the mid-'80s...

To my ears this is very similar to what in the early '90s was being termed "Acid-Jazz".
