Jazztimes.comKarl Denson’s Tiny Universe expands with the first KDTU CD in seven years, one that takes Denson in a surprising new direction, veering sharply from jam-heavy funk and into a more personal style that bears the influences of Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye. Returning is guitarist Brian Jordan, but there’s a whole new lineup with Meshell Ndegeocello on bass, Kenneth Crouch on keys, Zak Najor on drums, Marc Ford (Black Crowes) on guitar and Laura Reed and Debrissa McKinney on backing vocals. Brother’s Keeper is poles apart from the Greyboy Allstars and KD3 jazz-funk trio. Denson is a wonderfully versatile saxophonist, but here it’s his vocals that make this one of the best retro-soul discs in recent years. Although the CD leads with the summer fun of “Shake It Out,” Denson steps into Marvin territory with “Brother’s Keeper” and “The Drums of War,” even if the latter is lyrically heavy-handed. Bob Marley earns an appreciative nod with the reggae rise-up anthem “Mighty Rebel,” which also throws a shout out to the Specials’ “Ghost Town.” And don’t miss “Monica,” a tempo-changing ditty about young love, getting older, experience, pride and a few others twists on life’s great roller-coaster. ~ Brian Soergel -- jazztimes.com
AllmusicReview by Thom JurekKarl Denson's Brother's Keeper is his initial Shanachie offering and revives his longstanding Tiny Universe outfit that went on recording hiatus in 2004. 2007 saw the release of the Karl Denson Trio's killer Lunar Orbit with just his saxophone, a Hammond B-3, and drums. The set offered a new sonic take on that classic jazz sound. Brother's Keeper, by contrast, features a full septet (with MeShell Ndégeocello on electric bass) augmented by a slew of guest musicians who include an expanded horn section and strings. The sound here is different than past Tiny Universe offerings. It's a very roots-oriented sound that, while not exactly enveloping the back-to-basics of funk and jazz, folds these into a brew that also includes soul, gospel, reggae, and club jazz. Denson wrote or co-wrote 10 of the set's 11 tunes, two of them with Switchfoot's lead singer Jon Foreman (the set opener and first single "Shake It Out," and "Mighty Rebel"). Foreman penned the stellar "The Drums of War," and co-producer David Veith helped Denson on "Just Got Paid.""Shake It Out" is the logical choice for a single because it is the closest thing to the classic sound of Tiny Universe. The sound of a Wurlitzer piano, fat bassline, tight snare and kick drum, and a handclap section that feels like it could have come right off either an old Motown record or something by Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels, is all funked up. It's a pure rave-up with some killer rock guitar fills that add depth and dimension. Denson's vocal is right upfront, exhorting the listener to get out on the floor. "Where It Counts" is a more skeletal, nocturnal, soul-funk number with some beautiful horns that descend from the the J.B.'s, while the backing vocals come right out of the Philly International fakebook (there is also a beautiful flute solo by Denson to boot). The hinge piece on the album, however, is the two-part title track. It offers an aural view of Denson at his compositional best. We've never heard him -- on record anyway -- quite like this. Complex, elastic funk meets subdued, hypnotic Afro-beat and a straight-up soul melody, turned inside out through a gospel vocal chart complete with call-and-response chorus and jazz syncopation. There's a popping, knotty bassline that drives the rest of the instruments, and a dreamy horn arrangement. The drum breaks by Zak Najor are right upfront in the mix, pulling the listener into the track's uplifting message as Denson testifies: "Yes, I'm my brother's keeper." Part two brings the blues and a tough street reggae into the gumbo as well (with strings, no less!), expanding the whole mess instrumentally. "Mighty Rebel" is jazzed-up reggae, and "Monica" is a dubby, soul-kissed love song, while "Take It Down" is a pure neo-soul ballad that evokes both the sexiness of Leroy Hutson's work and the message-oriented songs of Bobby Womack's.Brother's Keeper is the most poignant album Denson has released to date; it's the most autobiographical and spiritual, as well. This is the work of a mature musician and thinker; and one that bears repeated listening because there is so much in this heady brew, it's impossible to take in all these killer grooves in one sitting.

InfoKarl Denson's Tiny Universe Offers a New World Order on Brother's Keeper. The all-star musical line-up is testament to Karl Denson's level of respect on the creative music scene. The introspective and dynamic musician is joined by: Meshell Ndegeocello (bass), Marc Ford (guitar, Black Crowes, Ben Harper), Jon Foreman (Switchfoot), Kenneth Crouch (Eric Clapton, Lenny Kravitz), Zak Najor (drums, The Greyboy Allstars), Brian Jordan (guitar), Shawn Banks (percussionist, Burnt Sugar), Jonathan Talbot (strings), Laura Reed and Debrissa McKinney (vocals, Laura Reed and Deep pocket), Cochemea Gastelum (baritone sax, Dap Kings, Antibalas), Dave Smith (trombone), and Michael Leonhart (horns).

He concludes, "This record is the culmination of all my life's work up until now."----Karl Denson's BROTHER'S KEEPER, his first album for Shanachie, revives his longstanding Tiny Universe outfit that went on recording hiatus in 2004.
