No name could have described these guys better: The incredible lineup in the Soul Survivors, a band featuring funk-jazz keyboard pioneer Les McCann, session great Cornell Dupree on guitar and Grammy-winning sax player Ernie Watts, not only boasts a long collective trail of past gigs with such soul-music greats as Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding and Roberta Flack, but they've also been around on their own, and they're all the better for it. Groove with the tip-top trio and their sidemen, Gordon Edwards and Buddy Williams, tonight at 8 p.m. at the Boulder Theater, 2032 14th Street in Boulder; for tickets, $21.50 to $30, call 303-786-7030 or go to www.bouldertheater.com.
