Stanton Moore....have you heard his stuff

Stanton is amazing and the disc is terrific.
Excellent to see live.

Make sure you buy every Galactic album as well.

would love to see him live...any other suggestions for discs that groove?

Galactic and Garage A Trois both feature 'Ol Stanton.

There are 3 galactic studio albums, a live album, and a recent release that is sorta somewhere in between. Some previously released material, some new, some live some studio.

I've got some decent recordings of Galactic, too, back from my field recording days.

I've seen galactic many times live, they never, ever fail to impress, and they are my favorite band that is "alive" (i.e. touring, making records on a regular basis) right now.

If you go to Amazon check out the Jazz jam band section. Then look at the favorites lists on the right side of the screen.

This should get you going.
