Brand New Heavies. The Brand New Heavies are an acid jazz and funk group formed in 1985 in Ealing in west London. Biography[edit] The Brand New Heavies began in the 1980s as an instrumental acid jazz group called Brother International.[1] While under management by Colin Lester's and Ian McAndrew's Wildlife Entertainment, The Brand New Heavies released Brother Sister (1994) which was the last album for a while with N'Dea Davenport, who had left to complete her solo album (which she had put on hold to join the Heavies).

The album spawned more singles, though one of them, a cover of Maria Muldaur's "Midnight at the Oasis", was popular only in the UK because it was not included in the US version of the album. Siedah Garrett joined the group for their next album, Shelter (1997). It contained the minor hit, the Carole King-penned song "You've Got a Friend" that was originally made famous by James Taylor. Again, though, this song did not appear on the US version of the album. Members[edit] Discography[edit] Brand New Heavies. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Brand New Heavies Brand New Heavies (BNH) est un groupe britannique d’acid jazz et d’alternative hip-hop, formé en 1985 dans Ealing, en banlieue de Londres. À l’origine, un groupe instrumental de rare groove, BNH acquiert une grande réputation sur les scènes des clubs londoniens et signe très vite pour Cooltempo au moment où l’acid house remplace le rare groove dans les clubs.

Les membres principaux du groupe sont Jan Kincaid, Simon Bartholomew et Andrew Levy. Brand New Heavies choisit son nom après la signature de son premier contrat d’enregistrement en s’inspirant de la pochette d’un single de James Brown sur laquelle il est écrit : Minister of New Super Heavy Funk. On retrouve sur tous les albums de Brand New Heavies leur sigle : un éléphant. Discographie[modifier | modifier le code] 2009 : Live at London Disc 1 1. 2. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.
