About the Artist
For 30 years, award-winning pianist/composer Andy Milne has collaborated with dancers, visual artists, poets and musicians spanning jazz, classical, pop, folk, and world music. With his new group UNISON, Milne explores the intimacy of the piano trio. The synchronistic relationship Milne has enjoyed with bassist John Hébert since 2010 is matchlessly rounded out with Grammy Award winning drummer Clarence Penn, who represents complimentary threads within the fabric of Milne’s piano trio philosophy -- the intersection of texture and groove. Their 2020 debut recording, “The remission”, released on Sunnyside Records won them 2021 JUNO Award for Jazz Album of the Year: Group.
