For over 25 years, the Minneapolis based collective, Happy Apple, has delivered it's own enigmatic vision of jazz and improvised music to an adoring cognoscenti of listeners. Though they've found favor from the jazz community at large, the trio of saxophonist Michael Lewis, bassist Erik Fratzke, and drummer Dave King remains a band of outsiders, three independent personalities with eclectic tastes and styles providing music with an obtuse Midwestern charm. Mostly known for their electric live performances, Happy Apple has been a hard beast to capture on record. Though they recorded frequently in the early 2000s, the members admit that much they recorded never truly captured their InchrealInch band sound. So, when Happy Apple decided to record after a long hiatus, they decided to get it right. InchNew York CDInch is the recording that the band agrees finally captures the essence of Happy Apple.Happy Apple came together during the mid-1990s as an outlet for Lewis, Fratzke, and King's experiments with improvisation and composition. The group amassed a book of nearly 150 pieces, most of which were never recorded. During the early 2000s, the group found themselves in position to document their music. The typical challenges of recording led to strong, respected albums but albums that the group never truly felt captured their spirit.

The increase of Happy Apple performances led the band back to the studio to capture their reignited ene

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. Album Tracks 1. Starchild Cranium 2. Freelance Robotics 3. Paulie's Quick Temper Has Gotten Him Into a Few Jams 4. Let's Not Reflect 5. Dojo Fantastique 6. See Sun Spot Run 7. Ella By Nightlight 8. Go (Base 13)
