Featured Artist - Kneebody
/I had the amazing opportunity this past July to attend a week long workshop at SIM in Brooklyn with one of my all-time FAVORITE bands, Kneebody. This is a group that combines aspects of jazz, hip-hop, indie rock, and pretty much anything else you could throw into the pot. They are all extremely versatile, individualized, and continuously creative musicians that when their powers combine turn into one of the best musical groups around today.
The band members are:
- Ben Wendel - Saxophone/Bassoon/Effects
- Shane Endsley - Trumpet & Effects
- Adam Benjamin - Rhodes/Piano/Effects
- Kaveh Rastegar - Bass & Effects
- Nate Wood - Drums & Symbols
The band's discography spans four albums with a 5th, their 3rd studio album, expected in Spring 2010:
- Kneebody
- Low Electrical Worker
- Live Volume 1
- Live Volume 2
The group also appears on two other albums:
- A Jazz Life - Tony Scott & Kneebody
- 12 Songs by Charles Ives - Theo Bleck & Kneebody
