Kenosha Kid scores "Steamboat Bill Jr."

The Cave, Chapel Hill w/ Jonathan Byrd
452 1/2 W. Franklin St.
Chapel Hill, North Carolina

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 event is designed to have something for everyone: It’s a jazz concert… it’s a film… it’s a chamber ensemble… it’s a comedy… it’s a rock band… it’s all these things rolled into one.
