MARCHING MUSIC – a new suite of compositions for our moment. I conceived of these pieces as music you could have in your headphones when you attend Climate Marches, Demonstrations for Equal Rights, Voting Rights Movements, and all other actions towards a just society. Also, it’s music to spur all of us to go and vote in November 2020 in incontrovertible numbers. Non-voters are among the biggest voting blocs in the U.S. This is the moment when everyone has to step up an be a part of what our nation truly is. We can do it. May this music help and inspire you. I am optimistic and believe that we can make change, but we have to all be involved and engaged. Featuring Rafiq Bhatia, Melvin Gibbs, and Sim Cain. – Dave

2019

ENGAGE is a direct descendant of UPLIFT, the 2018 set of compositions dedicated to positive action. We will be following up with all the organizations and causes invoked in that piece. And engaged in community and activism. People showed up in 2018, and our hope is that this trend will continue. We are going to need to be engaged to make the changes that will save our environment, our equality, our sciences and humanities. My hope is that everyone, in every field, will be involved and engaged in this work. Writing and performing these pieces is a reminder to myself not to get mired in the negativity — to stay positive and engaged through music daily. The personnel is Dave Douglas on trumpet, Jeff Parker on guitar, Tomeka Reid on cello, Anna Webber on alto and bass flutes and tenor saxophone, Nick Dunston on bass and Kate Gentile on drums.

MUSICOPHILIA. This piece was created during an event hosted by the Psychology Department at The New School For Social Research. It was the first time Kris and Dave had played together. Kris is, among other things, using a EBow to create vibrations within the piano on this piece. Dave is using various dismantlings of the trumpet and its tubes. Kris Davis and Dave Douglas graciously agreed to let us share this piece with you — exclusively — on this subscription feed. It was recorded and mixed by Joshua Liebman. Please enjoy, in what is certain to be shades of things to come, as Kris and Dave plan to continue this collaboration in the future.
