Douglas, Dave - Alloy CD
SKU
39-CD-GRE-1116
“In a major new compositional statement, trumpeter Dave Douglas returns with Alloy, alongside two thrilling young trumpeters: UK native Alexandra Ridout, now living in New York, and Dave Adewumi, from New Hampshire and currently in the thick of the NYC contemporary improvised music scene.
Far from a trumpet blowout session, this is a warm-hewed, lyrical release featuring original compositions that highlight the many rich shades of brass, plus a stellar band of improvisers convened for the first time here. Aiming to bring together musicians in community, the writing features everybody as an organic whole and speaks to our need to live and breathe together as a unit. To cohere and coexist.
Renowned vibes player Patricia Brennan is on board, adding superb atmospherics to the proceedings. Originally from Perth, Australia, On bassist Kate Pass is a new find in these circles,. Douglas’s long-time collaborator and Frisell colleague Rudy Royston brings his driving and cinematic drumming to the session.”
