Kneebody - Kneebody

2005 release.

Personnel: Adam Benjamin (keyboards), Shane Endsley (trumpet/pedals), Kaveh Rastegar (bass), Ben Wendel (saxophones) and Nate Wood (drums).

Kneebody’s self titled debut on Greenleaf Music showcases the band’s musical depth and non stop creativity. The band’s five members bring lessons learned from their experiences backing artists such as Ani DiFranco, Jurassic 5, Snoop Dogg, Daedelus, Phil Woods, Steve Coleman, Chaka Kahn, David Murray and Ravi Coltrane to this project. The result is an organic, original instrumental music that has, as one L.A. Music Connection reviewer wrote, “an epic, trans-generational gravity.” All the music on the album is composed by Kneebody.
