ANDY MILNE & UNISON

A masterful pianist and visionary composer, the Canadian-born, New York-based Andy Milne has been a creative force on the scene for decades – the leader of the influential cosmic funk band Dapp Theory and an artist mentored by the great virtuoso Oscar Peterson whose latest Sunnyside trio album, The reMission, won the 2021 Juno Award for Jazz Album of the Year by a group.

At the piano he skillfully blends poetic gravitas with a playful sense of order. Andy Milne has collaborated with dancers, visual artists, poets and musicians spanning jazz, classical, pop, folk, and world music. The pianist’s latest album is a triumphant collection of original works and classics by McCoy Tyner and Benny Golson, tied together by the telepathic communication between Milne and his trio mates
