About

Featuring Thursdays two live sets from a four-night run at New Yorks Jazz Standard in 2015, the road-tested Dave Douglas Quintet delivers a roller-coaster ride of complex harmonic and rhythmic structures, veering between fierce and soulful on this two disc release. Also part of a complete 8 CD set, the music features New York heavyweights Jon Irabagon, Matt Mitchell, Linda May Han Oh and Rudy Royston.

March 2019

This is notable from the first Thursday set, with the likes of ‘Lone Wolf’, featuring Irabagon heartily rocketing along in contrast to the stiletto sharp precision of Douglas. But, of course, this is a band of vivid eclecticism, with the gospel soul of ‘There Is A Balm in Gilead’, replete with Oh’s testifying bass, a gorgeous complement to the more helter-skeltering bop tunes. And it’s always interesting to compare performances across the week. On Thursday ‘Going Somewhere with You’ starts like a cracked ballad, tentative, even fragile; come Sunday it again starts reflective but tighter, building to a confident stride that sets up the week’s climactic number, the aptly-titled ‘God Be With You ’Til We Meet Again’.
