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). A recipient of Chamber Music America's New Works commission and the French-America Jazz Exchange award, and voted Rising Star Keyboardist by DownBeat Magazine, leader, pianist, and composer Andy Milne is one of the most important and respected voices in jazz today. With Dapp Theory, Milne has assembled a collective that is helping to redraw and extend the boundaries of jazz. JazzTimes Magazine describes the band's chemistry as "so impeccable, it's practically a musical Unified Field Theory."
Milne formed Dapp Theory in 1998 as a vehicle to "tell passionate stories, promote peace, and inspire collective responsibility towards uplifting the human spiritual condition." Since then, the band has evolved and built a loyal following, recently launching a Kickstarter campaign to help fund its next album, a follow-up to 2008's Layers of Chance.
