Hit: 4 Stars
As a long-time Karl Denson and Greyboy Allstar fan, this is definitely one of my favorite albums to put on at a party or just by myself. I enjoy the overall smooth-funk vibe, the unexpected scratches from DJ Logic and the layers of instrumental grooves compliments of Melvin Sparks, Ron Levy, Chris Wood, Charlie Hunter and Zak Najor. This collaboration has a definite point of view and sound. For me, this is exactly the mixture of head-bobbing, funk-jazzy goodness any girl could want! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do-- it never seems to get old!
Dance Lesson #2 Poster
Saxophonist Karl Denson may not have the name recognition enjoyed by new-jack jazzmen such as Charlie Hunter or Medeski, Martin & Wood, but that should change with Dance Lesson #2, his Blue Note debut. A versatile player, Denson played with Lenny Kravitz in the early '90s and helped found the acclaimed if short-lived Greyboy Allstars in the mid-'90s. He's also cut a handful of albums on small labels, the early ones more straight-ahead and the later ones more locked into the groove thing. Here, Denson's work on alto, tenor, and flute rides the dance-floor jazz groove with the melodic sense of Herbie Mann and the immaculate funk timing of Maceo Parker, who is undoubtedly an influence. An all-star cast of sidemen that includes Melvin Sparks, Charlie Hunter, Chris Wood, and DJ Logic urge Denson on by holding nothing back themselves. This set is also diverse--while some tunes delve deep into the groove, others verge on smooth jazz, making for a nicely paced, well-crafted album. --Tad HendricksonJazz Music CDs
