Two continents collided with epic results as American jazz experts,\u00a0Kneebody<\/a>, took the stage at Le Poisson Rouge with New Zealand pop maven, Kimbra. The union was borne of Kneebody bassist’s Kaveh Rastegar’s collaboration\u00a0with\u00a0Kimbra on her new track “Love in High Places<\/a>“. The combined star power of the two led to a packed house of many eager to witness the unique event.<\/p>\n

The other members of Kneebody are\u00a0Adam Benjamin (keys),\u00a0Ben Wendel (sax),\u00a0Nate Wood (drums) \u00a0&\u00a0Shane Endsley (trumpet), and together the band makes a technical version of jazz that is very\u00a0engaging musicianship to watch live. They played a half set instrumental, before introducing Kimbra to the stage to raucous applause. Her wild gestures and vocals\u00a0effervesced the audience and, fed back through Kneebody, made the performance more than the sum of its parts. We heard “Love in High Places” and “Slum Love<\/a>” from The Golden Echo<\/em>. Kimbra returns here in November (11\/3, 11\/6\u00a0via Bowery Presents, sold out) to\u00a0support the new record, while Kneebody\u00a0is bound for Europe.<\/p>\n
