Dave Douglas Quartet

Beautiful songs and mind-reading improvisations Even though this quartet is geographically separated — with Americans Marta Warelis, Nick Dunston and Joey Baron all living in Europe and Dave Douglas himself based in New York — their new album Four Freedoms is a fresh document of shared nerve and well-rehearsed brilliance. Here the distance has sharpened the focus and the common goal of making exciting music! Dave Douglas is one of the most prominent and influential trumpeters in modern jazz, showing a tireless ability to reinvent himself. He has a career marked by diversity, creative engagement and richness of nuance, with a particular ability to surround himself with great fellow musicians. With the legendary drummer Joey Baron behind him, Douglas' new songs have both drive and lyrical nerve. In the interplay with the brilliant pianist Marta Warelis and the outstanding bassist Nick Dunston you get a beautiful listening experience, where modern jazz meets its own rich history. A great concert from exactly the four who are needed! Dave Douglas - trumpet, Marta Warelis - piano, Nick Dunston - bass, Joey Baron - drums
