	Dave Douglas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dave Douglas (born March 24, 1963) is a US jazz trumpeter and composer.
		The Dave Douglas Quartet performs wild, freewheeling music, influenced by the bands of Ornette Coleman and John Zorn.
		In 2000, Douglas released his most famous album, "Soul on Soul." It is a tribute to composer and pianist Mary Lou Williams, featuring original arrangements of her music for the Sextet and new pieces inspired by her work.

	www.jazzweekly.com \| Interviews
		DAVE DOUGLAS: It was really when I heard a solo concert of Guy Klucevsek, I guess in early '98, late '97, that I was sitting through this whole concert ready to scream because the whole Charms of the Night Sky kind of unfolded while I was watching his concert (laughing).
		DAVE DOUGLAS: I think that, for me, in a percussionless ensemble like that, the bass is probably the key instrument of all in terms of holding it down, but also Greg Cohen is someone who thinks like a composer, like an arranger.
		DAVE DOUGLAS: I'm just glad that people are hearing the music and the music is being made available and that I have an opportunity to do it the way I want to do it.

	Dave Douglas Biography at JazzTrumpetSolos.com
		Douglas' stylistic range is broad, yet unaffected; his music is not a pastiche, but rather, a personal aesthetic that reflects a wide variety of interests.
		As a trumpeter, Douglas possesses a comprehensive jazz technique; certainly, one hears the ghost of Lester Bowie in Douglas' expressive manipulations of timbre and pitch, but more pronounced is the integration of distinctive compositional and improvisational conceptions that ultimately defines his work.
		Douglas moved to New York in 1984, initially working with jazz and funk bands on the street while finishing a degree in music at New York University's Gallatin Division in 1986.

	Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Living / Arts / After taking time to reflect, Dave Douglas trumpets his return
		Douglas has been all over the musical map, but after mourning the unexpected death of his father and making the transformation from bohemian wunderkind to seasoned innovator, he needed a moment for reflection.
		As Douglas chatted and joked with the audience and left plenty of breathing room for his telekinetic rhythm section, his band seemed liberated by the loosening of the conceptual bow.
		Fashionably bespectacled and impeccably color-coded, Douglas looks as if he could be on the "after" segment of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." Douglas's image is marketable for an industry hungry for generational definition, but he is more comfortable in the cocoon of his music than in the glare of the public eye.

	Jazz Tracks - Dave Douglas
		Whereas the latter is an ardent defender of the African-American tradition, Douglas has been thrust into the limelight because he somehow represents a more innovative tangent in the music, one that seeks to push the envelope rather than being cocooned in it.
		Douglas, for his part, is in a very playful mood, as is New York bassist Brad Jones.
		All that said, Dave Douglas is clearly a rounded and grounded musician who is neither afraid to experiment nor shy about acknowledging his forefathers.

		Last year was a triumphal one for Douglas, who scored a triple play in the Downbeat critics' poll by being named trumpeter of the year, artist of the year, and snagging the jazz album of the year category for his album Soul on Soul (RCA Victor).
		Douglas can obviously relate to a wide scope of musical forms, as evidenced by the variation in his recordings.
		Douglas enjoys interacting with young musicians, but his demanding schedule prevents much face-to-face contact with his disciples.

	freeform.org : Dave Douglas
		Trumpeter Dave Douglas is in a Miles Davis mood on The Infinite, the first album by his New Quintet.
		And Douglas seems to have settled on a particularly appropriate phase of Davis' recorded legacy for inspiration: the era marked by a departure from post-bop and entrance into fusion, circa 1968 and 1969.
		It would be inaccurate to suggest that Douglas is in copycat mode, however; his own personality remains strong, certainly in his own playing but also in his writing and arranging, which can be ingeniously deceptive by masking compositional density with a floating, airy quality.

	Encyclopedia: Dave Douglas
		In 1984, Douglas moved to New York to study at NYU and finish a degree in music.
		Ornette Coleman (born March 19, 1930) was one of the major innovators of the free jazz movement of the 1960s, and one of the more notable figures in jazz history.
		The former performs self-described "Balkan improvisations." Like a number of Douglas' groups it is rather unique in its instrumentation (trumpet, guitar, drums) and blends Eastern European folk influences with jazz.

		Douglas claims to have finally dealt with Miles Davis's legacy of beautiful melodies on The Infinite, and he does, but this record owes nothing to anyone but Douglas and his talent as a composer and interpreter.
		But Dave Douglas is versatile and multi-faceted, and "The Infinite," his 4th record for RCA/Bluebird, has the potential to reach a much bigger audience with some excellent modern jazz.
		Douglas is at the forefront of jazz creativity today, always paying respect to the past yet forging a style of his own.

	Wherever he plays, the buzz follows trumpeter Dave Douglas
		Douglas knows how to swing and he's mastered the nuts and bolts of the jazz tradition, but he's not shy about bending the rules, breaking them or ignoring them altogether in the interest of honest expression.
		Douglas also leads a string band with violin, cello and bass; an octet that straddles the acoustic-electric fault line; and a more traditional horns-plus-rhythm sextet.
		Since then, Douglas has recorded and toured extensively both as a leader and as a sideman with such experimentalists as John Zorn, Tim Berne, Myra Melford, Don Byron and Joey Baron.

	Dave Douglas' In Our Lifetime
		Douglas' record is a brilliant tribute to music that was played many years ago, but is completely contemporary, as expressed in the title "In our lifetime".
		Douglas told me that he spent a lot of time listening to music from the late 50s - early 60s in preparation for composing the music on this CD.
		Douglas says he is attracted to the open forms provided by Little, by the long forms that don't consist of simple phrases, and by the space given to soloists in the sense of providing structures that still allow the soloist to play freely.

	DAVE DOUGLAS & NOMAD @ THE CHICAGO CULTURAL CENTER

		Douglas claims that there were two kinds of people who climbed 10,000 feet to listen to music, spiritual people and rowdy drunkards, so he wrote music for both.
		Douglas claimed he can't imagine a world without Lester and this encore brought his spirit back to life in fine fashion.

	Jazz Concert Review - Dave Douglas at the HotHouse!@ jazzreview.com
		While Douglas acknowledged in the linear notes that some listeners will only listen to the music as such, the political content was something that Douglas could not escape as Witness appeared in stores just three weeks before September 11.
		Douglas might not have the stature of those comedians but neither do the stand ups of today.
		Douglas through his sly presentation is able to be both a challenging artist and one of the few superstars of jazz who isn't (yet?) a legend.

		Douglas said, he chose to work with the Arbuckle films because their fast pace seemed to match well with the heavily grooved, electronica-steeped jazz riffs he was creating in his home studio.
		Douglas said he was also drawn by the present obscurity of the films; Arbuckle was one of the biggest stars of the silent era when the scandal struck, but he never regained his popularity even though he was eventually acquitted.
		Douglas and his band will perform live to screenings of "Fatty and Mabel Adrift," "Fatty's Tintype Tangle" and two other Arbuckle films on Oct. 1 at the Paramount Center (http://tickets.paramountcenter.org); a New York City performance is scheduled for Feb. 18.

	Jazzmatazz Review - A Thousand Evenings - Dave Douglas
		Douglas has often produced albums that are dedicated to other musicians, with pieces both by the dedicatee and by Douglas.
		A dance suite called El Trilogy was written by Douglas for the Trisha Brown Dance Company and recorded by the group will be included on a forthcoming RCA Victor CD along with two other dance suites.
		Other Douglas originals include "Variety," an amazing through-composed virtuostic tour-de-force for Guy Klucevsek; "On Our Way" an upbeat latin-tinged, klezmer sounding piece with fast accordian, violin and trumpet solos; and the closing "From a Pure Spring," which begins with solo violin and brings this beautiful album to a close in quiet contemplation.

		Dave Douglas is widely recognized as one of the most important and original American musicians to emerge from the jazz and improvised music scene of the last few decades.
		What impresses me most about Dave is how his sets really have an arch, and every piece, every moment is a part of a whole..the compositions and solos are all part of an entire fabric, and every piece that he played was unique to that which followed it.
		Dave Douglas annonced each of his tunes, Wynton only a few, and although I could remember having heard most of them, some of the details I could have used in the description, faded away.
