Karl Denson's Tiny Universe

Like a Super Nova burning bright in the night sky comes Karl Densons Tiny Universe. Based out of San Diego, KDTU began its journey in 1998 after bandleader Karl Denson decided to change gears five years after hed help create The Greyboy Allstars. GBA had proven themselves as the ultimate party band, spreading their West Coast Boogaloo style all over the world, making Jazz a dance term once again. Karl set out to take this formula to the next level by putting more emphasis on vocals and adding some funk, R&B and hip hop elements. It turned out to be a winning combination that set KDTU on the top of the heap in the touring world from 1999 through 2005. In 2005 Karl decided to get back to his roots and work in a smaller jazzier setting. During 2006 and 2007 Karl led KD3, a trio configuration featuring Sax, Organ and Drums. This led to the 2007 release of KD3s Lunar Orbit, an album that was a great critical success. In 2008, Karl rejoined his former boss Lenny Kravitz and spent the year country hopping through Europe and North America. In 2009 Karl went back into the studio and conjured up what is being hailed as the most soulful KDTU adventure yet, Brothers Keeper, which was released Sept 15th, 2009.
