Andy Milne
Toronto-native Andy Milne's musical concepts draw inspiration from various forms of music, politics, philosophy, comedy, and science fiction. Recently awarded the 2007 French America Jazz Exchange Commission to compose with noted French pianist Benoit Delecq, and Voted “Rising Star Keyboardist” by Down Beat Magazine in 2004, Milne is one of the most respected young voices in jazz today. His highly recognizable quintet Dapp Theory blends “contemporary funk, groove and hip-hop into jazz with such seamless, casual precision it's almost freaky” (LA Weekly). Milne has toured and recorded with Ravi Coltrane, Ralph Alessi, Carlos Ward, and Grammy-nominated vocalist Carla Cook.
