REDCAT: Known for a signature on-edge sound heavy with groove, the New York quintet is driven by the emphatic piano and keyboard work of Andy Milne, who formed the group five years ago to link the essentials of jazz with hip-hop rhythms and funk harmonics. Recipient of a Chamber Music America new works commission and named “rising-star keyboardist” by the readers of Down Beat, the Canadian-born Milne has established himself as one of the most important young artists in jazz today. He lines up in Dapp Theory alongside percussive poet John Moon, saxophonist Loren Stillman, bassist Chris Tordini, and drummer Kenny Grohowski.
