Jazz / Modern Creative; Avant-Garde Jazz
Recorded: Feb 1, 2006, Bear Tracks Studio, Suffern, New York
Dave Douglas (trumpet)
Donny McCaslin (tenor saxophone); Uri Caine (Fender Rhodes piano); James Genus (bass instrument); Clarence Penn (drums)
Dave Douglas was one of the most consistently innovative jazz musicians on the scene in the early 2000s, and 2006's MEANING & MYSTERY finds Douglas's quintet regrouping for the first time since 2002's Miles Davis-inspired THE INFINITE. The ghost of Miles hovers over this outing as well (especially Miles's work with his groundbreaking '60s quintet), but Douglas's vision as a composer and player is always evolving, and his mixture of post-bop, fusion, and the avant-garde comes across as fresh, vital, and edgy. Uri Caine's Fender Rhodes bathes everything in a cool hue, but bassist James Genus, drummer Clarence Penn, and saxophonist Donny McCaslin (replacing Chris Potter) keep the heat high. Add to this Douglas's dazzling chops, sharp writing, and nuanced arrangements and Douglas fans are treated to another glowing gem of a jazz album.
First Quintet record for the Greenleaf Music label. Featuring nine Douglas compositions, it further established Douglas' take on what modern, living jazz quintet music sounds like. Featuring his long standing musical partners Uri Caine, James Genus, Clarence Penn who have been with this Quintet through its first two albums along with new tenor saxophonist Donny McCaslin, who replaces Chris Potter, Meaning and Mystery broadens the depth of Douglas' art significantly.
Meaning and Mystery is the third album from the Dave Douglas Quintet and first for the Greenleaf Music label. It follows 2004's critically-acclaimed Strange Liberation and 2002's Grammy-nominated The Infinite in building upon, and establishing Douglas' version of a modern living jazz quintet music. Inspired by Miles Davis, the current work of the Wayne Shorter Quartet as well as more obscure groups such as those led by Julius Hemphill and Baikida Carroll to name a few, the album's nine dynamic Douglas compositions reflect Douglas' fasciation with the worlds of poetry, visual arts, architecture, dance and film. Except for tenor saxophonist Donny McCaslin, who joined the quintet in 2005, each member of the group has played with Douglas for an extended period of time. Uri Caine (Fender Rhodes) has been with Douglas for fifteen years, bassist James Genus for over ten years and drummer Clarence Penn for over six years. Each group member is a master musician with a clear and distinctive voice; Douglas wouldn't have it any other way. "I like to hear individual expression, even in a group setting," says Douglas. "I tried to write songs that could be approached with - that invite - personality, expressiveness, immediacy." With Meaning and Mystery, he has accomplished this goal and delivered an album of astonishing virtuosity and artistic vision. |
