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)
