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 ...
