One of what Marsalis calls these "hip grandpas" was Scotland's Joe Temperley.

From BBC

"When Joe was in the band we picked songs for him to play, especially when we came to Scotland. He was salty, he was not a touchy-feely kind of guy so he was always trying to deflect attention," says Marsalis.

From BBC
