Interview, Dave Douglas on Devotion and The Sacred Harp

5th July 2019

Matt speaks to NY based trumpeter Dave Douglas about his new album Devotion, a collaboration with pianist Uri Caine and legendary drummer Andrew Cyrille.

Trumpeter Dave Douglas and pianist Uri Caine continue their long-time musical association with a new album featuring master drummer Andrew Cyrille.

The sequel to the 2014 Douglas / Caine album Present Joys that centered on renditions of Sacred Harp tunes and which the New York Times called, an album of duologue that manages to be at once intimate, soulful and irrepressibly buoyant, Devotion features new original compositions by Douglas in devotion to many of todays greatest composers including Carla Bley and Franco D’Andrea.

With over 40 recordings as a leader and many more with other groups, Dave Douglas is well established as the leading trumpeter of his generation. If further proof is needed, Douglas was recognized as Trumpet Player of the Year by the Down Beat Critics Poll for the first time in 2000 and has received that billing 13 times in the 15 years since then.

“Dave Douglas is the unassuming king of independent jazz, a model of do-ityourself moxie, initiative and artistic freedom.” – Frank Alkyer, Publisher, Down Beat

“His body of work reflects an inveterate engagement with the world, taking inspiration from literature, politics, dance and film, as well as jazz and newmusic traditions.” - Nate Chinen, New York Times
