Dave Douglas: A Creative Consciousness
by Dave Wayne
Considering trumpeter Dave Douglas' musical career, one word that comes to mind is “consistency." Sure, he's led a dizzying variety of bands playing in all sorts of styles. Yet, of the 30-odd recordings he's led, not one veers from the central mission of presenting challenging, original jazz. An inveterate musical risk taker, Douglas has always led ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Se Live Volume One, registrato nel 2005 durante il primo tour europeo subito dopo l'omonimo debutto discografico, ci aveva fatto conoscere una band dall'enorme potenziale, a suo modo rivoluzionaria, ma ancora un po' ingenua e a tratti farraginosa, Live Volume Two, coglie i Kneebody, circa tre anni dopo, nel pieno della loro creatività.

by Daniel Lehner

However, Shane Endsley's second release as a leader (and the first record to come out on Kneebody's Low Electrical Records) shows that the versatile and quietly charismatic trumpeter has a sincere interest in playing music, both jazz and ...
Kneebody + Busdriver: Why Horns Matter
One of my favorite thought-experiments of late comes from some Darcy James Argue-quilled Secret Society program notes: “What if every time you turned on the radio, everyone from T-Pain to Rihanna to Katy Perry was backed by a big band? What if Animal Collective and Vampire Weekend and MGMT all had 13-piece horn sections? What if ...
