Over three years in the making, Kenosha Kid’s second full length release is a sweeping epic that features 73 minutes of incredible compositions performed by ten of the sharpest new talents from around the world. Bandleader/composer/guitarist Dan Nettles has woven a stunning sonic tapestry that fits alongside Buster Keaton’s classic silent film “Steamboat Bill, Jr.” Although equally steeped in American jazz tradition, the music manages to defy complete classification. Rather than focusing on long-winded soloing, the emphasis is always on the total band sound, melody and texture, and solid grooves. The finished product is a CD and DVD package designed to have something for everyone: part jazz recording… part film… part chamber ensemble… part comedy… partrock band… it’s all these things rolled into one.
