The man grooving so convincing and so fresh that it's fun! His band, especially the drummer, has audible rock influences what the funky groove gets out of mothballs and catapulted into the present. It may be that the whole group is so young that they sound as dynamic. The R & B numbers are very convincing. On a Lenny Kravitz sings - as I have seen but Trombone Shorty already live (an absolute recommendation !!), I can say he is Mr. Kravitz in every way! Great album, thrilling musicians, live a bomb. Wonderful. From me 5 stars.
