The LA-based quartet stretches jazz to its breaking point, fusing rock energy, electronic textures, intricate composition and something that sounds unmistakably… Kneebody.
Their new album Reach (GroundUP Music) marks a bold new phase: a stripped-down lineup of sax, trumpet, keys, and Nate Wood playing both bass and drums at the same time. Yes, really. The single “Repeat After Me” offers a perfect entry point: Morse-code melodies, sly attitude and a groove that refuses to sit still.
For fans of Donny McCaslin, Steve Coleman, or what might happen if BADBADNOTGOOD took a left turn into polyrhythmic territory.
