Undead Jazz Festival: Kenny's Castaways Edition
by Daniel Lehner
Every zombie film fan knows that being bitten by a creature of the night is a fate worse than death. The only cure is to have a member of your party load up a shotgun and take you out before you turn into a limping, brain-hungry shell of a person. So giving an event a header ...
Tinges of Electro-Pop and Some Ives, Too
Among the ways to pin down Kneebody, a resolutely unpin-downable band, a few come rooted in plain fact. The group uses a common jazz instrumentation trumpet, saxophone, rhythm section to make a somewhat less common amalgam of urban-signifying genres, from electro-pop to punk-rock to hip-hop. Four of its five members met in the late 1990s at ...
Ben Allison: Think Free
by Troy Collins
Gradually moving away from the chamber music-like aesthetic of his Medicine Wheel and Peace Pipe ensembles of the nineties, bassist Ben Allison has begun embracing his formative influences, leaning towards a slightly more rock-oriented sound. Think Free is his third Palmetto album in as many years, thematically following Little Things Run the World (2008) and Cowboy ...

Dave Douglas' Fetish Busting Greenleaf Digital Music Experience
by Mark Corroto
The assignment was simple enough. I was to listen online to trumpet and cornet player Dave Douglas' recordings Quintet: Live at the Jazz Standard and Keystone Live at the Jazz Standard at GreenleafMusic.com, and write about them. So why hadn't I touched the play button nearly three weeks after receiving the music? Sure, sometimes ...
Kneebody: Live Volume One
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo giovane e brillante quintetto statunitense conferma le aspettative create dai due album precedenti e promette bene per il futuro. In realtà quest’album, pur con un’energia e un inteplay fantastici, non ha l’inventiva e la maturità di Low Electrical Worker, ma le ragioni sono probabilmente da ricercare molto semplicemente nel fatto che la registrazione (si tratta ...

Kneebody: Low Electrical Worker
by Ivana Ng
Kneebody's second full-length album starts off with an aggressive dose of jazz and industrial rock on “Poton." Drummer Nate Wood's slow, deliberate rhythm is irresistible, bordering on obnoxious, and tenor saxophonist Ben Wendel's improvising skills are well-suited to the quintet's combination of pop sensibility, jazz meditation and rock ferocity. A wave of sounds--trumpet, effects, Fender Rhodes, ...
