“What a band . . . ferocious technicians with a beautiful melodic approach!” —BBC Radio

Monkey House, the Juno-nominated quartet led by Emmy-winning songwriter Don Breithaupt, is an oasis of jazz harmony and pop smarts in a by-the-numbers world. Crashbox, the band’s latest release, features guest appearances by Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan), Drew Zingg (Boz Scaggs), and Marc Jordan. Five albums into its deal with Alma Records and Universal Music, Monkey House counts Tokyo as its top streaming city, Los Angeles as its second home, and Europe as its area of greatest growth. Its last two albums have topped the iTunes Jazz chart and entered Billboard in the Top 15.

Forged in a cauldron of raging, inspiring contemporary jazz, the Jeremy Ledbetter Trio pushes the boundaries of jazz and world music, providing an undiluted display of rampaging energy and captivating musicianship. Audiences must exercise caution. People who see this band are rarely the same again. If the Jeremy Ledbetter Trio were an inanimate object, it would be a runaway train. The Jeremy Ledbetter Trio’s second album, “Gravity”, has stormed out to over a million worldwide streams and a JUNO Award for Jazz Album of the Year. “Gravity” sees Jeremy joined by Grammy-winning drummer Larnell Lewis (Snarky Puppy) and renowned electric bassist Rich Brown (Steve Coleman’s Five Elements), who offer the perfect counterpart to Ledbetter’s iconoclastic energy at the piano.
