$18 admission at the door. $12 for students

DAPP THEORY is a quintet that blends contemporary funk, groove and hip-hop into jazz
with such seamless, casual precision its almost freaky. (LA Weekly)

ANDY MILNE - Keyboards
JOHN MOON - Percussion
AARON KRUZIKI- Saxophone
CHRIS TORDINI - Bass
KENNY GROHOWSKI - Drums

As demonstrated on their recent release Layers of Chance (Contrology Records,
2008), Dapp Theory displays an uncanny ability to blend various instrumental textures
and infectious grooves, with lush harmonies and poignant, socially conscious lyrics.
Founder Andy Milne, whose jazz cred is evidenced by his work with such acclaimed
artists as Ravi Coltrane, Ralph Alessi, Steve Coleman, and Cassandra Wilson, as
well as by being voted Rising Star Keyboardist by Down Beat Magazine, composed
much of the music on Layers of Chance as part of the Chamber Music America New
Works commission he received in 2006.

Jazz Times Magazine describes Dapp Theorys remarkable chemistry . . . [as] . . .
so impeccable, its practically a musical Unied Field Theory.

The idea behind Dapp Theory is to create complete musical compositions that groove
as hard as they express melodic and poetic lyricism. - Andy Milne

Milne formed the band 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, in large part due to their
commitment to grass-roots touring, an ideology more often associated with indie rock
bands. Dapp Theorys style is indenable yet highly recognizable, blending inuences
ranging from Joni Mitchell and KRS One to Thelonious Monk and Van Halen.
The concert will start promptly at 7pm and will end at 9:30pm. Royal T will be serving its
signature Japanese fusion tapas and an eclectic variety of beers, wines and sakes
starting at 6pm.

JazzPOP Outdoor Concerts Return to the Hammer in August


JazzPOP Outdoor Concerts Return to the Hammer in August
Featuring Darren Johnston Quintet, Bennie Maupin Ensemble, Industrial Jazz Group, & Nicole Mitchell Trio

Los Angeles – The Hammer Museum’s free JazzPOP music series celebrates its fifth year of outdoor concerts in the Hammer courtyard. Veteran artists and bold new voices perform original, adventurous music that combines inventive composition with improvisational prowess and propulsive groove. Musician Lisa Mezzacappa, JazzPOP’s curator, programs diverse artists with a special focus on musicians with west coast roots. Mezzacappa, an accomplished double bassist and composer, takes an inclusive approach, honoring what musicians are creating, without boxing them into categories of “jazz” and “not jazz.” JazzPOP explores the sounds of contemporary, diverse and often underexposed jazz artists and ensembles. During the concerts, guests may also enjoy signature JazzPOP cocktails from a cash bar, as well as dinner from Cafe Hammer by Wolfgang Puck.
