New Voices: Sarah Manning, John Escreet, Kneebody
by J Hunter
Jazz is like the human body. It needs fresh air, constant activity and a steady stream of nutrients to stay hale and hearty. Conversely, if all the genre does is sit in a comfy chair and try to live on what came before, it becomes sedentary, incurious and--ultimately--self destructive. Fortunately, the young keep jazz active and ...
Kneebody: You Can Have Your Moment
by C. Michael Bailey
West Coast eclectic Kneebody elbowed its way to the front of the crowd on Theo Bleckmann's Grammy-nominated Twelve Songs by Charles Ives (Winter & Winter, 2009). As is customary with Bleckmann, he always employs musicians empathetic with his creative and playful vision. On You Can have Your Moment, Kneebody is all business, pushing the musical envelope ...
Kneebody: You Can Have Your Moment
by Dan Bilawsky
Kneebody needs no introduction for the avant-leaning, electro-acoustic jazz set--if such a specific subset of a crowd exists. This quintet has a way of combining high art improvisation with earthy grooves and electronic etching that nobody else can seem to match. The music on You Can Have Your Moment is a sonic stew that includes raucous ...

Ben Wendel: Simple Song
by AAJ Italy Staff
Vi è una tendenza che sta diventando sempre più marcata nella nuova generazione di musicisti dell'area cosiddetta creativa della musica improvvisata. Tendenza che porta ad affiancare alla produzione maggiormente innovativa e iconoclasta lavori più canonicamente jazzistici, vuoi dal punto di vista strettamente formale vuoi semplicemente come filosofia ispiratrice. Esempio eclatante è quello del sassofonista Jon Irabagon ...
ACT: ACT
by AAJ Italy Staff
Due quinti di Kneebody più il basso di Harish Raghavan ed ecco Act, classico trio sax/basso/batteria. Il sassofonista Ben Wendel mostra così un altro aspetto della propria visione artistica: se Kneebody è formazione che scardina i canoni tradizionali del jazz, se in Simple Song, esordio da leader, il jazz funge da base per un'esplorazione discreta di ...
