"A highly energized funk machine."

Led by former Lenny Kravitz sax-man Karl Denson, the Tiny Universe brings a dynamic sound that defies categorization. A unique mixture of acid jazz, funk and soul, KDTU has earned a reputation as kings of the unstoppable all-night show.

From the beginning of his musical education the California native experimented mixing both the funk and soul of Motown with the deep influence of jazzmen like Yusef Lateef, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and John Coltrane.

Beginning in 1989, Denson spent four years recording and touring with Lenny Kravitz during the Let Love Rule and Mama Said albums of the early 90s. During this same period, Denson and DJ Greyboy's "Unwind Your Mind" collaboration became the top dance track in Europe.

In 1992 Denson signed with German jazz label Minor Music, home of legendary James Brown hornmen Fred Wesley, Pee Wee Ellis and Maceo Parker. Karl spent the next four years recording four acoustic jazz albums with Minor. These recordings showcased Karl's prowess as a composer as well as jazz saxophonist.

The Greyboy Allstars were created and quickly became synonymous with the term acid jazz. Inspired by a love of jazz music and dance music the band defied the odds by becoming one of the largest drawing club acts in the country. The group could be characterized as a "true jazz band with a ryhthm to keep you dancing".

Denson's drive to continually innovate and push the musical envelope drove him to form the Tiny Universe, and the band is currently touring and writing material for their next studio release.
