The Brand New Heavies
This is the group that got me started on a long love affair with "acid jazz" (which is neither acidic nor particularly jazzy). The Heavies are rhythmic and repetitive yet fun with a blazing horn section and smoking vocals courtesy of the lovely N’Dea Davenport.
Y! Music has most of their discography. I recommend their self-titled debut release, but I emphatically dis-recommend their 1997 Swan Song "Shelter" which I seem to recall somehow getting for free back in the day and discarding after listening to it twice. However, I can assure you, that with the exception of this record, the rest of their stuff is terrific, excellent, top-notch.
N’Dea Davenport released a solo album in the 90s that I really liked (but sadly isn’t available on Y! Music).
