The Greyboy Allstars are a five piece soul/jazz group from San Diego, CA, originally formed as the backing band for rare groove / acid jazz DJ Greyboy (Andreas Stevens) in 1993. Their debut album "West Coast Boogaloo" in 1994 featured Fred Wesley.
Their latest album "Get A Job" (subtitled Music from the Original Broadcast Series Soul Dream) will be their seventh and was released on Bandcamp on 1 Apr 2022. It consists of a set of ten never before released covers which they play as part of their live sets.
The track that immediately drew my attention to the album is a cover of Gil Scott-Heron's "Lady Day And John Coltrane".
The full tracklist is:
"I’ve Got Reasons" (Edwin Bocage, Al Scramuzza);
"Jug Eyes" (Gene Ammons)
"Smokin’ at Tiffany’s" (B. Watley, G. Barr, S. Weakley)
"Lady Day and John Coltrane" (Gil Scott-Heron)
"Turn It On" (Sonny Stitt)
"Taxman" (George Harrison)
"I’ve Known Rivers" (Gary Bartz, Langston Hughes)
"Play It Back" (Dr. Lonnie Smith)
"Got to Get Me a Job" (Don Alford)
"Walk On By" (Burt Bacharach, Hal David)
