Program notes
For this concert at the Grande Halle de La Villette, the Californian group ‘Kneebody’ once again exhibits its incredible collective energy. A brilliant performance blending jazz, rock, and pop at intense electronic sonorities.
Formed in 2001, Kneebody is a big name in contemporary jazz and the international music scene. The group is composed of five virtuoso musicians who mix their creative talent with a unique fusion of jazz, electronic, and rock energy, combining highly polished compositions with innovative improvisations. They have also created a project about the composer Charles Ives, and collaborated with artists including Daedelus and John Legend.
