  • Description

    'The Line' is the fourth album by US jazz quintet Kneebody and their debut recording on Concord Records. Their sound explodes with rock and jazz influences and through engrossing improvisational instrumentals. The album includes twelve original compositions and contributions from various members of the group.

    Kneebody is keyboardist Adam Benjamin, trumpeter Shane Endsley, electric bassist Kaveh Rastegar, saxophonist Ben Wendel and drummer Nate Wood. The band has no leader or rather, each member is the leader; they've developed their own musical language, inventing a unique cueing system that allows them each to change the tempo, key, style, and more in an instant.



    The quintet met in their late teens while at The Eastman School of Music and Cal Arts, became fast friends, and converged together as Kneebody amid the vibrant and eclectic music scene of Los Angeles in 2001. Since then, each band member has amassed an impressive list of credits and accomplishments over the years, all while the band has continued to thrive and grow in reputation.



    Personnel: Adam Benjamin (Fender Rhodes, synthesizers), Shane Endsley (trumpet, effects), Kaveh Rastegar (electric bass, electric guitar), Ben Wendel (tenor saxophone, effects), Nate Wood (drums)
