Arriving mysteriously in New York City in 2005 with nothing but a suitcase full of sepia-toned memories and a short list of semi-lucid musicians in the hip pocket of her homemade skirt, alice. directed her near-psychotic obsession to find something new into the founding of what has come to be known as the elastic.hybrid.chamber.pop. movement. Calling in a lifetime’s worth of favors and rewriting the concept of Machiavellian coercion in the process, she assembled a mighty ensemble of people that were united in musical vision and inherent fear of saying no. Bringing a unique voice to a unique genre, alice. seeks to continually defy the boundaries of form, harmony, group improvisation, genre, and competitive performance art, delighting her multi-generational audiences with distinctive and memorable original compositions mixed with covers ranging from Beethoven to Spinal Tap. Truly, hers is a voice as extraordinary as it is assertive.

Andy Milne, piano;
John Beaty, piano;
Chris Tordini, bass;
Kenny Grohowski, drums
Dapp Theory is a quintet that blends “contemporary funk, groove and hip-hop into jazz with such seamless, casual precision it’s almost freaky.” (LA Weekly) Recipient of Chamber Music America’s New Works commission, French-America Jazz Exchange award, and voted “Rising Star Keyboardist” by Down Beat Magazine, leader, pianist/composer, Andy Milne is one of the most important and respected voices in jazz today. With Dapp Theory, Milne combines the talents of percussive poet John Moon, saxophonist John Beaty, bassist Chris Tordini and drummer Kenny Grohowski, collectively helping to re-draw and extend the boundaries of jazz. Jazz Times Magazine describes the band’s “remarkable chemistry . . . [as] . . . so impeccable, it’s practically a musical Unified Field Theory”.
“Milne and his band Dapp Theory are masters of understatement. … there’s a balance to the music that is tenuous when considered intellectually, but just plain funky when considered physically.”
Jake TenPas – Albany Democratic Herald
