BLM PLAYER PROFILE #17 // FRANCIS HYLTON - INCOGNITO
Музыка
I was lucky to catch up with Francis on the balcony of his hotel room shortly before he hit the stage at the Caloundra Music Festival with acid jazz legends Incognito. Hailing from London, Francis has been musical director for Rahsaan Patterson, recorded with Anastasia, Chaka Khan, Lulu, Najee, Miki Imai, Gianna Nannini, Jocelyn Brown and Leon Ware and performed bass live with Cee Lo Green, Mario Biondi, Chaka Khan, Karyn White, Gloria Gaynor and many more. In this revealing interview we hear about Francis' beignnings on the bass, his relationship with Bluey from Incognito, what kind of gear he uses and why and a great insight into what it means to be an in demand sideman for some of the world's top funk, rnb, soul and jazz artists.

Very informative chat. Hes a very good musician. Love his work.❤
This cat is one of my favorite groove players!! SO FUNKY and such a great Pocket Player!!! and the joy he brings to the music is wonderful!
This is one of THE best interviews you have done. You have had a lot of great artists, however, Francis has the most humble and accessible vibe. your interviews with Teymur and Hadrien were great, however Francis just stands out because of his friendly humble demeanor.. No ego to have to sift through...

So glad you enjoyed it! Francis was a great hang :)
He's also been one of my favorite bass players. Didn't even know his name until now. Funny he mentioned Tower of Power. "Talkin' Loud" sounds like their groove. Love Francis' work on that.

Francis is a beast on bass, but the original bassist for the recording of Talkin Loud is Randy Hope-Taylor. Bluey picks some of the absolute finest bassist. Check out Julian Crampton as well.
Superb interview. Francis is one of my favourite bass players. He is what I aspire to every time I pick up bass. I'm old so remember seeing Incognito on the "Tribes, Vibes & Scribes" tour(Sheffield Leadmill), the most complete band ever. Thanks for doing this.
Great work man, thanks for doing that!
Thanks for this.
I'm still teaching, but not Bass any more!!! All the best to Francis (oh, how I wish I could play like Francis!!!). Cheers, Braham.

Hey Braham fancy seeing you here!! I tracked this down because I've always liked Incognito and when I heard the tribute to George Duke my eyes and ears popped out at Francis Hylton's bass playing so I looked this up. See you soon Hugh
