  • Description

    Produced by Yellowjackets founding member Jimmy Haslip and featuring guest performances from guitarist Ben Monder, and vocalists Jean Baylor and Gretchen Parlato,' 'Forward In All Directions' marks Dapp Theory's 15th year, blending contemporary funk, groove and hip hop into jazz.

    The title and the music reflect keyboardist/composer Andy Milne's diverse artistic vision. He and his band mates share an understanding and sensitivity of musical palettes ranging from Appalachian folk, traditional Armenian, heavy metal, funk, hip hop, jazz, pop, and classical music. Milne has combined the talents of poet John Moon, saxophonist Aaron Kruziki, bassist Chris Tordini and drummer Kenny Grohowski to help to re-draw and extend the boundaries of jazz.



    A seminal member of Steve Coleman's groups in the 1990's, Milne is considered by his peers as one of the most important and respected voices in jazz today. He is the recipient of numerous awards and commissions and has composed and produced seven original film scores for acclaimed actor/director William Shatner.



    Personnel: Andy Milne (piano, prepared piano, Fender Rhodes & synthesizers), Aaron Kruziki (soprano saxophone, clarinet, douduk, alto saxophone), John Moon (vocal poetics), Christopher Tordini (bass), Kenny Grohowski (drums, percussion) with special guests: Ben Monder (guitar), Jean Baylor (lead vocal - 5), Gretchen Parlato (additional vocals - 5)
