Karl Denson Trio - Lunar Orbit

[markjazzbassist]

talk about an awesome record. this thing is so far out man, it is some wild jazz, but it's great. no bass, just keyboard bass, but man do these tracks sound great. organ, keys, drums, percussion, and denson doing what he does best, flute and sax.

i feel like im having acid flashbacks with the title cut. S%$t man, that track is Out, i mean OUT, but in a good way.

anyone else pick this up? thoughts?

I saw Karl two weeks ago with The Grey Boy Allstars and it was one seriously funky show...and they brought more soul than I can express via keyboard! It's hard for me to believe that the man played with J.B. and Maceo, and still people aren't paying attention! IT'S SACRELIGIOUS!

Granted, his bassist played a short scale Mustang with foam under the bridge to compensate...but he still brought the funk, and the drummer was a freakin' machine. Between Karl and Elgin Park (possibly the dorkiest guitar/singer ever to look like a grad. student), the band had so much to offer in the way of vocals and extended solos.

The trio is really solid and I dig the tunes I heard on MySpace, I just wish more people gave props to Karl, the tiny universe, and the allstars.
