About

Little Giant Still Life is an exhilarating new album from trumpeter and composer Dave Douglas (Horace Silver, John Zorn, Joe Lovano) featuring five brass players and drums.

Much of this music was inspired by the American painter Stuart Davis and the music explodes with the same bright colors and excitement of Davis's works. Combining the acclaimed talents of brass ensemble The Westerlies - known for their work with Fleet Foxes, their repertoire of original compositions, and interpretations of the music of Wayne Horvitz - and the soulful young drummer Anwar Marshall (Fresh Cut Orchestra, Kurt Rosenwinkel), with Douglas' inspired compositional vision, the album is full of grooving, swinging, lyrical new jazz.
