The stage at Jazz Alley was cramped for a nine-person band. Before funkified sax master Maceo Parker and his crew hit the stage, the drums were shoved hard against the rear curtain like a belt buckled tight around a pair of empty pants. When Jerome Thomas took to his kit, he had to squeeze through and climb around, and he played much of the set like only the funkiest rhythm could release him. It was fitting accompaniment to a set that included songs with titles like "Off the Hook," "Make it Funky," "Shake Everything You've Got," and "Funky Fiesta."
