Karl Denson fronts his band the Tiny Universe as if he's preaching the gospel. Merging funk, soul, rock, jazz, blues and more, his energy and spirit are undeniable and contagious. They're also in the service of a larger message of sociability--across generations, genders, religions and cultures. That same idea of togetherness permeates Denson's other main gigs, as a touring member of the Rolling Stones and the linchpin of the beloved jazz-funk unit the Greyboy Allstars.
Not surprisingly then, he's none too pleased with the current state of political discourse. Gnomes & Badgers, the new album by Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, is the saxophonist's hard-grooving answer to these tragically divisive times.
