(although the sax playing was a bit lacking).

Hard to disagree.

That´s the definition of funk or Modal jazz for that matter... To each his own I guess...

Although funk and jazz can definitely make use of pedal tones, it's definitely not a common approach, nor would it qualify as being definitive of the genres. It's very, very difficult to craft interesting music without more harmonic movement. Although they are making some use of contrast and tension and release, it's just not enough. You can almost sense the musicians trying desperately to pull something out of it, but the composition isn't there.

I´m not talking about pedal tones... I´m talking about Modal Jazz... So What has 4 chords. Impressions 2. Cissy Strut (on the funk side) also 2 chords.
I recently caught Ravi Coltrane live, and those guys (with Jonathan Blake) would play forever over vamps... I didn´t enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Kamasi´s.

Yes, but those melodies are instantly memorable. Kamasai's stuff is more about the spectacle of it all.
