Andy Milne and Unison — Cafe Coda — Saturday, June 25, 2022 — 7 and 9 PM

By Michael Brenneis

Interview date: 02/29/2020

Andy Milne’s outstanding career spans a wide breadth from collaborating among the elite of North American creative music, to being an accomplished film scorer and educator. I originally spoke with Andy in early 2020 in advance of his tour for his then newly released trio album The reMission. That canceled tour has been rescheduled, now two years later, but much has happened with the trio Andy Milne and Unison in that time. Most notably the album won a Juno award in 2021 for Jazz Album of the Year in the Group category.

Although two years have passed, much of our conversation is still relevant and brimming with insight into the world of Andy Milne.
