Citrus Sun

Citrus Sun is a smooth jazz group created by Incognito leader/producer Jean Paul “Bluey” Maunick. Maunick brought in one-time Average White Band guitarist Jim Mullen and two Incognito members: drummer Richard Bailey, bassist Julian Crampton, horn players Ed Jones, Fayazz Virgi, Dominic Glover, and pianist Tim Vine.

Citrus Sun’s music is more contemporary jazz-based than the acid jazz leanings of Maunick’s other productions with Incognito and Maysa Leak. There’s also a looser feel to their music, due in part to Maunick’s wish to have more live recording with Citrus Sun as opposed to the more piecemeal method of overdubbing.
