A few years ago, I ended up in an acid jazz group where some of the members turned me on to The Greyboy Allstars featuring Karl Denson on sax/flute.
A lot of the pros that I know don't have any idea who this cat is, and (IMO), this dude is a serious bad***. It gave me sort of a different way of thinking about phrasing my rhythms in a little more unpredictable way when playing funk.
If you ever get a chance, several tunes to check out on their "LIVE" album are "Jack Rabbit", "Tenor Man", "Check Out Your Mind", and "Toys R Us."
Anyone else listen to these guys?
