The saxophonist, flutist and singer leads his own band, Tiny Universe, and tours with the Rolling Stones. 'Seeing Mick and the other Stones, who all work at such a high level, is always good for you,' he notes
Karl Denson has learned some valuable lessons about longevity in his 25 years as a band leader and his nine years as a touring saxophonist in the Rolling Stones, whose lead singer, Mick Jagger, is 13 years older than Denson.
“To get me going every day when I’m on tour!” he replied with a laugh. “And to tell me why this part of me or that part is hurting. I’m getting older and things are starting to hurt now.”A Santa Ana native and Encinitas resident, Denson has been busier than ever. “If not for COVID, this would be our 20th or 21st Jam Cruise,” noted Denson, who will also teach a few tai chi classes on board.
Thanks to its propulsive grooves and dancer-friendly command of funk and rock, Tiny Universe quickly became a staple on the national jam-band scene. But there is a key element that distinguishes Denson and his group from other jam-scene mainstays.“Because the one thing that holds this band together is that we play solos. Most bands that have singing don’t solo. And even a lot of those bandssinging don’t solo; they just play grooves now.
His Big Apple gig won’t be with Tiny Universe, however. Instead, it will be the debut of the Karl Denson Project, which teams him with such heavy hitters as Pat Metheny Side-Eye keyboardist James Francies and trumpeter Keyon Harrold, who performed Miles Davis’ trumpet parts in the 2015 Don Cheadle film “Miles Ahead.”
