Think Galactic, Maceo Parker, Karl Densons Tiny Universe, or the soundtrack to Jack Kerouac adrift on the Internet highway, stranded somewhere between todays Beirut and pre-Katrina New Orleans. These veterans of the Boston Globe Jazz Festival and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival are currently being played on XM Radio; this autumn they will be on tour in Japan. Their instrumentals hark back to the legendary Dizzie Gillespie, Art Blakely and Charlie Parker, producing a jazz version of jam bands. This is where Superfly, Shaft, the Meters, Funkadelic and Parliament collide, their sonic landscapes simultaneously recall the ability of music to bridge differences, instill a sense of world citizenship, and George Bernard Shaws observation that all great truths begin as blasphemies.Check out this video: Boston Horns at the Salem Jazz & Soul Festival in 2007
