Dave Douglas & Keystone: Moonshine

Read "Moonshine" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


As one of jazz's most omnivorous thinkers, trumpeter/composer Dave Douglas continues to explore ideas outside of the norm. Moonshine is a continuation with Keystone--an electric sextet that includes Marcus Strickland (saxophones), Adam Benjamin (Fender Rhodes), Brad Jones (bass), Gene Lake (drums), and DJ Olive (turntables)--exploring in music, the life and art of 1920s silent film actor/director ...

Dave Douglas Quintet: Live at the Jazz Standard

Read "Live at the Jazz Standard" reviewed by John Kelman


Trumpeter Dave Douglas' a six-night run at New York's Jazz Standard in December, 2006, was relatively revolutionary in the jazz world. Every set, featuring his longstanding quintet, was recorded and made available the following morning in downloadable MP3 format. The twelve sets included nearly everything from The Infinite (RCA, 2002), Strange Liberation (RCA, 2003) and Meaning ...

Dave Douglas & Keystone: Moonshine

Read "Moonshine" reviewed by John Kelman


It's unlikely that Dave Douglas expected the Grammy-nominated Keystone (Greenleaf Music, 2005) to turn into an ongoing project, but as a parallel to his quintet of the past half decade, the trumpeter has forged a distinct entity with the group he now calls Keystone. This sextet shares some commonality with the quintet responsible for Meaning and ...

Dave Douglas: Keystone Live in Sweden

Read "Keystone Live in Sweden" reviewed by John Kelman


In the early days of silent film, scores were played live, most often by a single musician--simplifying the response to the on-screen activities. In recent years artists like guitarist Bill Frisell and clarinetist Louis Sclavis have upped the ante by combining composed music with improvisation on silent film scores for small ensembles, making the coordination of ...

Dave Douglas: Meaning And Mystery

Read "Meaning And Mystery" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Se la presenza di Bill Frisell in Strange Liberation modificava alcuni assetti, ora la formazione riprende il discorso iniziato nel 2001 col disco The Infinite: uno sguardo all'estetica davisiana degli anni sessanta rivista alla luce della contemporaneità. Le influenza musicali di questo lavoro vanno oltre i gruppi di Davis con Shorter e lo stesso Douglas cita ...

Dave Douglas: Meaning and Mystery

Read "Meaning and Mystery" reviewed by Troy Collins


Poll-winning trumpeter and composer Dave Douglas has led numerous diverse ensembles over the past decade. The quintet featured here is one of his more traditional lineups, at least compared to others which have employed fairly exotic instrumentation. This is Douglas' 24th release as a leader, and his fourth with this six year-old quintet. While it covers ...
