Read "Meaning And Mystery" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Greenleaf Music

Read "Greenleaf Music" reviewed by Brian P. Lonergan


When Dave Douglas and Michael Friedman first met at a recording session in New York in the mid '80s, the young trumpeter made an indelible impression on the young drummer. “When Dave started playing, he galvanized the band and he had a certain presence and a freshness that is unforgettable, said Friedman, who would go on ...

When trumpeter Dave Douglas parted ways with RCA/Bluebird--which released his projects between 2000 and 2004--he created Greenleaf Music to allow him better control over both his art and its delivery. He also planned to bring exposure to other artists. The first non-Douglas release on the new label, the self-titled debut by Kneebody, fits perfectly with Douglas' ...

Keystone is an incredibly mature-sounding album from Dave Douglas--not because his work up till now has not been complete, but because he has fully integrated the technology and mode of the music first espoused by Miles Davis.
