Dave Douglas: Witness

by David Adler
September 1, 2001

Although there have been notable exceptions, music that is intentionally political is often bad--preachy, parochial, sanctimonious, obvious. Instrumental music has an edge in that its messages, once-removed from spoken language, are necessarily indirect and subjective. With Witness, Dave Douglas's first overtly political album, the trumpeter/composer stimulates our imaginations even as he encourages us to confront global ...

Last night I had the strangest dream. I dreamed Dave Douglas’ Charms Of The Night Sky band took the place of the original band The Monkees on their TV comedy show (stay with me and we might make some sense of this). Remember The Monkees were actors chosen to play musicians (not unlike today’s Backstreet Bunch), ...

Dave Douglas: Moving the Music Forward

April 1, 2000

There aren't many artists who release records two at a time, but trumpeter Dave Douglas has done it already this year with Leap of Faith, a quartet date for Arabesque, and Soul On Soul, a sextet session for RCA Victor which pays tribute to the late pianist and composer Mary Lou Williams. On top of that, ...

Dave Douglas has many faces. He can turn his cheek to Balkan, Indian, or free jazz. He is as much at home in the Knitting Factory as in a chamber orchestra. Of his two newest releases, (see review of Leap Of Faith ) this project is an almost pure mainstream jazz offering. Douglas’ Sextet has two ...

Negotiating the space between tonal composition and anything-can-happen improvisation, Dave Douglas's “straight-ahead" quartet continues to develop its original, identifiable sound. Only one of the trumpeter's many projects, this group released Magic Triangle (Arabesque) in 1998, and they've followed it up with something similar but better. Loose, natural interplay is the name of the game here, and ...
