Greyboy Allstars anyone?

I've just been turned onto these guys and man, can they swing!! (old fogey reference - sorry)

If you haven't heard of them, they have a very interesting blend of old school funk, 60's R&B, Nu Jazz, and a big 'ol pile of groove. Really infectious!

I saw them play once the bass player played a danelectro looking thing with flat for the whole show! Sho'nuff funky.

I caught a show a couple years back, it was good funky vibes. I've never heard any recordings though.

I dig 'em except when Karl Denson takes to the mike. A little bit of Karl D. goes a looooonnnng way. If he can just stick to his sax, everything is cool.

I actually like Robert Walter's (of Greyboy) 20th Congress much better. If you like Greyboy, check out Robt Walter's stuff.

My friend Dave in San Diego turned me on to them about 5 years ago. I have 2 of their CD's.
