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.

On this night, Roney had hired a turntablist for his bandstand aggregation, and It was to be the first time ...

Miles DavisLive at Montreux--Highlights 1973-1991 Eagle Eye Media2011 When Miles Davis plugged in towards the end of the 1960s, it may have been a huge shot fired across the bow of the jazz intelligentsia, who loudly cried foul and began the first of many accusations of “selling ...
