Dave Douglas: Four Freedoms

Read "Four Freedoms" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1941 “Four Freedoms" speech--articulating freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear--trumpeter Dave Douglas frames Four Freedoms as both political echo and musical proposition.
