“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.
