Karl Denson's Tiny Universe and Anders Osborne Band at Majestic Theatre
There’s a danger to immediately writing off every group known for a funky, party-time vibe—especially one like Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe. Denson’s sax- and flute-playing skills make those sounds his own, even if he’s not reinventing them. The same goes for his songwriting: The two-part title track of his 2009 album, Brother’s Keeper, first makes its mark via little immediate parts like its classically slick bass hook, giving Denson and his bandmates melodic muscle memory to build on when it’s time to trade solos and licks. Here, he and his crew will be applying their magic to the task of performing The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers album in its entirety.
