Dancing About Architecture's influences...

Maceo Parker
Maceo used to play sax with James Brown, now he does his own sort of 'funk with a bit of jazz' thing. Andrew recommends his album "Mo' Roots".

Galactic
The sort of music that you can tell is from New Orleans, really good funk with a really good drummer who you should also check out (Stanton Moore)

Charlie Hunter Trio
See also: Charlie Hunter Quartet and Quintet. He plays an 8-string guitar with 3 bass strings...sounds like two people playing at once. The other band members are bloody good too. Andrew recommends the tracks, "Greasy Granny", "Percussion Shuffle" (by the Quartet), and "Oakland" (by the Quintet). But they're all good.
