Happy Apple

"Progressive jazz for a safer America..." Traditional Thanksgiving weekend concert by jazz hipsters Happy Apple, celebrating ten years together! Just the ticket to get you out of the house, and your neurons stimulated with Dave King's witty repartee and kickass drums, Michael Lewis's expressionistic sax, and Erik Fratzke's colossal bass. No turkeys here!

“Fiercely
independent, fiery, fun, endlessly creative and effortlessly melodic, Happy
Apple are the perfect jazz ensemble for the 21st century, keeping one foot
pointed forward toward the stars and the other knowingly planted in the rich
jazz tradition of improvisation around structure. These guys are the real
thing.” (Allmusic.com)

"There's
a small subgenre of bands right now that are making a tricky but inevitable
connection: the combustible energy, sardonic attitudes and harsh, crackling
timbres of indie rock and the musicianship, improvisational logic and humanism
of jazz. ... [THE PEACE BETWEEN OUR COMPANIES] comes in like a lion with "Starchild
Cranium," but that full-on clank has nothing to do with the serenity
of the winding ballad "Ella by Nightlight," near the end. It's nice
to hear a band with such radically different dispositions." (New York Times)
