Trumpeter Dave Douglas has emerged, in the past two decades, as one of the most important musicians of our time. With a voracious musical appetite that runs from his ethnic-informed Charms of the Night Sky quartet to his “have band will travel" Mountain Passages group, he recently released his third disc, Meaning and Mystery, featuring his ongoing quintet with pianist Uri Caine, bassist James Genus, drummer Clarence Penn and newcomer, saxophonist Donny McCaslin.
Contributing Editor Paul Olson caught up with Douglas, and the result is quite possibly the most in-depth interview Douglas has done.
