DESCRIPTION:
2010 is the year for saxophonist and bandleader Karl Denson. He's part of the 2010 Revolution of Soul Tour with the legendary Maceo Parker to rave reviews. Karl Denson's Tiny Universe's latest release "Brother's Keeper" features guest appearances by Meshell Ndegocello, Marc Ford (Black Crowes), and Jon Forman (Switchfoot). This disc is for those true soul-jazz/funk heads.

Karl began his professional career as a member of Lenny Kravitz's first band with his debut release "Let Love Rule" and played with him for five years. While living overseas he developed a heavy music following allowing him to record five straight ahead jazz recordings on the Minor Records label. It was also there that Karl joined the legendary Fred Wesley's band. In the early 1990's, he hooked up with DJ Greyboy and formed Greyboy Records and the Greyboy Allstars. This unit was responsible for creating the whole "jam band" resurgence for groups like the Brand New Heavies, Groove Collective, Soulive, and Medeski, Martin, and Wood.

Karl's three musical units reflect the styles and different compositions for his moods.Tiny Universe is a more soulful and vocal unit which also fuses more world music influences in the mix. The Grayboy Allstars has a soul-jazz meets old school funk flavor mix. KD3: The Karl Denson Trio, goes back to his traditional roots in jazz while exploring and expanding his scope and a musician.
