专辑简介
A HatOLOGY disc might be more appropriate on a Monday, but then... what the heck? Actually, Adolphe initiated this post with the excellent "A Thousand Evenings" he posted yesterday.
I consider Douglas to be one of the most prolific composers (and players) of our time; i am particularly impressed of his open-minded approach towards diverse aspects of music, which encompasses music from various eras, styles and places.
This 1995 album is his second with his Tiny Bell Trio with Brad Shepik on guitar and Jim Black on drums (if I remember correctly the first one had appeared at C&D); it consists of seven original compositions by Douglas (influenced by Eastern European music, as in the case of the first Tiny Bell Trio album and also in some subsequent Douglas' works), a very enjoyable rendition of Herbie Nichols' "The Gig" and an interpretation of Schumann's "5 pieces in popular style". This band had been together almost three years at the time, and the instant interaction and interplay of the members between improvising and accompanying is of the highest level.
All in all, this is a very enjoyable album, which stands out in Douglas's exhaustive catalogue of very fine albums as a leader or a sideman.
Personnel:
Dave Douglas - trumpet
Brad Shepik - guitar
Jim Black - drums
