The Greyboy Allstars

The Greyboy Allstars

The Greyboy Allstars don’t just play the groove — they built the blueprint. Since the ’90s, they’ve blended jazz, funk, soul, and hip-hop swagger into a sound that helped launch a movement: West Coast Boogaloo. Their early work with Fred Wesley became modern groove gospel, sparking an acid jazz revival and earning them deep respect from DJs and beatmakers alike. Fast-forward to today, and they’re still funky, fearless, and fiercely original. Their latest release, Grab Bag: 2007–2023, proves the band is more dialed-in than ever — pulling from deep pockets and cosmic corners of their catalog with style and soul to spare. Led by the unstoppable Karl Denson on sax and flute, and powered by a dream team lineup — including Robert Walter on B3, Michael Andrews (aka Elgin Park) on guitar, Chris Stillwell on bass, and Aaron Redfield on drums — this is a band built on chemistry, trust, and pure musical telepathy. Catch them live and you’ll understand: this is not just a funk band. This is a groove institution — still schooling the scene and remodeling the house they helped build.
