Drummer Dave King best known for his long-standing work with The Bad Plus and Happy Apple, brings his exciting quartet Dave King Trucking Company out west for a string of performances later this month. The Trucking Company was born out of the necessity to play out and out songs, music stemming from Dave and Co.'s love of jazz and the avant-garde but also rock, country and blues music.
Their unique sound comes from the commingling of these influences along with the distinct instrumentation of 2 tenor saxes, guitar, bass and drums. CLICK TO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM

Directed by Noah Hutton (Deep Time), Lights Cameron Jackson stars King as a wandering post-idealist with an ambitious vision for how to improve the world, or at least his own prospects in it. Improvised scenes and conversations are woven together into an existential mystery that's both funny and foreboding.
