About

'Scandal' marks the first time that trumpeter Dave Douglas and saxophonist Joe Lovano have recorded a full studio album of material together, revealing a passionately adventurous band for whom no territory is off-limits. As on their live debut recording, Sound Prints features pianist Lawrence Fields, bassist Linda May Han Oh, and drummer Joey Baron. The super group heads off into swinging, heartfelt and sophisticated new territory inspired by saxophonist giant Wayne Shorter. Two of Shorter's pieces receive special treatment. A truly fantastic and original group playing new originals and music by Shorter.

June 2018

The frontmen describe Scandal as celebrating unity in divided times, and there’s a screech and tangle here that reflects our divided world: but, just as ‘free’ music in the 1960s reflected anger and confusion yet also heralded liberty, so Scandal points the way to new frontiers.

June 2018

As one takes the lead, the other often jabs their counterpart—pushing the conversational friction beyond rote hard-bop. Douglas’ improvisations unleash like shards of broken glass that fall into place, like a melodically designed mosaic, whereas Lovano’s spurt like blossoming petals of a writhing vine.
