Sounds Like: I'm aiming for the earthy, 'loose-but-tight' funkiness of The Neville Brothers, crossed with the chordal sophistication of Steely Dan and Stevie Wonder, and the out-there weirdness of Lewis Taylor and Prince. Whether this is what actually materializes in live shows and recordings is not for me to say . . . :-)
