Dave Douglas/Louis Sclavis/Peggy Lee/Dylan Van Der Schyff: Bow River Falls
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Recorded one afternoon during the Banff Workshop, Bow River Falls is trumpeter Dave Douglas' first cooperative effort since New and Used in the early '90s. Douglas, clarinetist Louis Sclavis, cellist Peggy Lee and drummer Dylan Van Der Schyff all contributed compositions, mostly from their earlier discographies, which were rearranged for this session. Perhaps because of the ...
Dave Douglas/Louis Sclavis/Peggy Lee/Dylan Van Der Schyff: Bow River Falls
by John Kelman
With a discography that is as varied as it is large, trumpeter Dave Douglas has rightly earned the many accolades showered upon him since his emergence in the early '90s. From the Parallel Worlds string ensemble to the electronica of his Freak In group, his work has been characterized by a broad sense of exploration and ...
Dave Douglas: No Labels, No Compromises
by John Kelman
Trumpeter/composer/bandleader Dave Douglas has managed what few other jazz artists have; to be associated with and widely promoted by a major record company, creating a diverse body of work that is completely without compromise, at a time when most are looking for the next Diana Krall or Norah Jones. In the past five years Douglas has ...
A Fireside Chat With Dave Douglas (2004)
by AAJ Staff
With age, I have adopted the position of respecting two levels of music--good and bad. Miles Davis updated his music with the times (explaining, “I have to change. It's a curse."). Similarly, Dave Douglas has done the same. And although hasty comparisons depreciate both, their legacies can be summarized as good and bad. While Douglas (unedited ...
Dave Douglas: Strange Liberation
by John Kelman
Some artists take years to reach a point of individuality. Others, like trumpeter Dave Douglas, have demonstrated a personal vision from such an early stage that, although his voracious appetite for all things artistic clearly informed his work, it was immediately recognizable as his, regardless of the context. Douglas' current quintet first explored a space that ...
Dave Douglas: Strange Liberation
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Continuing a pattern of alternating between experimental and straight-ahead releases, trumpeter and composer Dave Douglas has made Strange Liberation an inside, song-oriented alternative to last year’s more outside, exploratory Freak In. This is not to say that Strange Liberation does not break new ground—it just follows a more familiar route of solid playing without studio enhancement. ...
Dave Douglas: Strange Liberation
by Jim Santella
With an exotic title track that reminds us where jazz is headed, Dave Douglas and his ensemble of all-stars takes the listener on a tour on this Strange Liberation. With the kids in the back seat and a self-invited brother-in-law doing the driving, the family is all nestled in the SUV for a vacation of jazz ...
Dave Douglas: Strange Liberation
by AAJ Staff
In the liner notes to his superb new album, Dave Douglas makes reference to the parameters of his music, and the driving forces behind it, as his band explores the boundaries of freedom, playing music unattached to formula or dogma, and willing to risk failure. Douglas also says he'd been wanting to record with Bill Frisell ...
A Fireside Chat With Dave Douglas (2003)
by AAJ Staff
Not so long ago, Dave Douglas was touted as the crowned prince of improvised music. Sadly, this music is nothing if not tragically parallel to life and the irony of life is the same persons who lauded you are the ones to tear you down. But if you like the improvised music straight with no chaser, ...
