Happy Apple - The Peace Between Our Companies

Drummer of deconstructionist jazz outfit, the Bad Plus, David King, releases his side-project Happy Apple's debut album THE PEACE BETWEEN OUR COMPANIES. Though no less innovative and irreverent than the Bad Plus, this album has more of a rock vibe happening. There's too much of a true jazz sensiblity running through this disc to land it in that territory. The instrumentation is a kind of classic jazz trio with roots in such venerable innovators as Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman and more recently, Joe Lovano.
