Dave Douglas: A Single Sky
by Martin Longley
Here is yet another facet of Dave Douglas, an artist who is constantly seeking fresh discoveries. This album benefits from the full forces of the Frankfurt Radio Big Band (FRB), brashly realizing the composer's large lyricism. Douglas now turns his auteur skills to writing inflated-scale compositions, although his own soloing role is not diminished. His features ...
Dave Douglas: A Single Sky
by Troy Collins
On his first big band recording, award winning trumpeter, composer, bandleader, and Greenleaf Music label founder Dave Douglas is joined by the Frankfurt Radio Bigband, conducted by composer/arranger Jim McNeely, with whom Douglas studied in the mid-1980s.

Dave Douglas & Brass Ecstasy: Spirit Moves
by Martin Longley
Dave Douglas' combo, Brass Ecstasy, follows the spirit-trail of Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy, at once looking way back to the old New Orleans street traditions then picking up moves from the Rebirth and Dirty Dozen Brass Bands.

Prevalent in the musical ethic of Michael Bates is a masterful balance of instrumental and compositional elements. Live in New York is Bates' group Outside Sources--Russ Johnson (trumpet), Quinsin Nachoff (saxophone and clarinet) and drummer Jeff Davis --documented at a Fall 2008 Cornelia Street Café gig. The initial snap of the snare on ...
Dave Douglas & Keystone: Live at Jazz Standard
by Ted Gordon
In 1961, Bob Thiele set up a portable reel-to-reel tape recorder at the Village Vanguard to record John Coltrane's quintet. Though there was no official plan for releasing the tapes, Thiele knew that recording every single night of these performances had to be done. The resulting release proves his historical foresight. In 2006, Greenleaf music took ...
Michael Bates: Clockwise
by AAJ Italy Staff
Arrivato al terzo CD, e approdato per la prima volta alla corte di Dave Douglas, il contrabbassista Michael Bates dimostra ancora una volta quell’intelligenza musicale che aveva sortito i giudizi positivi espressi in occasione dell’uscita di Outside Sources (2004) e A Fine Balance (2006). Qui il musicista canadese, ma newyorkese d'adozione, è ancora una volta alla ...
