Get ready for a wild ride! The Stanky Stegosaurus is here to bring you the grooviest hits from the Late Jurassic Period. Don't let him sneak up on you—once he gets going, his swingin' stomps will shake the ground under your feet! Well-known for his characteristic flashy solo writing and bigger-than-average walnut-sized brain, the Stanky Stegosaurus practically reinvented the term "dinosaur jazz," breaking the norms established in early Mesozoic Era music. What started as a small ensemble out of his very own tar pit evolved into a prehistoric powerhouse, beautifully setting the stage for the chaotic combos of the Cretacious Period only 80 million years later. With a sound as big as the plates on his back and a bite as sharp as the spikes on his tail, he'll leave you roaring for more! He's sure to bring the house down with his dino-mite performance—but you'd better watch out, or you might go extinct!
