Andy Milne & Unison

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 the 2021 JUNO Award for Jazz Album of the Year: Group.

Line up

Andy Milne – Piano
John Hebert – Bass
Clarence Penn – Drums

“The emotionally complex album that came out of that session owes much to the single-minded focus of the three players as they moved fluently through Milne’s dynamic compositions.”
