6th October 2014: Reviews in from The Financial Times and The Jazz Breakfast plus airplay on Jazz FM for Andy Milne & Dapp Theory’s ‘Forward in All Directions’

We have exciting reviews from the Financial Times, The Jazz Breakfast and airplay on Jazz FM for our recent WWR release – Forward In All Directions, the new album from Andy Milne & Dapp Theory, his first for Whirlwind Recordings. Produced by Grammy Award winner Jimmy Haslip and featuring guest performances from Ben Monder, Jean Baylor and Gretchen Parlato, the album is Dapp Theory’s third release and marks the quintet’s 15th anniversary, blending “contemporary funk, groove and hip hop into jazz,” according to LA Weekly.

The Financial Times say that “most tracks on this subtle and atmospheric CD bare the hallmark of the M-Base aesthetic”, M-Base being a collective led by the recent 2014 MacArthur ‘Genius Grant’ award winning saxophonist Steve Coleman of which Andy has been a long standing member.”

The Jazz Breakfast have also written a review which you can view here, on top of the album receiving airplay on Jazz FM.

To purchase please check out the album page and featured below we have for your listening pleasure the album preview that accompanies the release. Happy listening.
