Douglas and Mehler composed all thirteen tracks between themselves, including four never-before-heard songs: Douglas' \"Arms Folded to the Moon\", \"A Thicket of Summer Grass\", and \"Life\" plus Mehler's \"Barn's Burnt Down\". While the spark for Douglas and Mehler's collaboration around haiku goes back two decades to an early performance of Douglas' \"Village of No Bells\", this vocal-forward ensemble sounds undeniably fresh.

In making Dizzy Atmosphere, Dave Douglas's tribute to the great trumpeter, composer and humanist, Douglas said he wanted to explore Dizzy's experimental and wide open mind as well as the influence of his music. This album shines a light on the whole legacy of Gillespie, one of America's finest artists. The original music Douglas wrote swings and shimmers with a grace reminiscent of the great man. Dizzy Atmosphere also contains several imaginative arrangements of Gillespie compositions, including reinterpretations of two key Gillespie tunes 'Manteca' and 'Pickin' the Cabbage.' Douglas's band is also remarkable, featuring fellow trumpeter Dave Adewumi, recent winner of the Carmine Caruso Competition, along with pianist Fabian Almazan, guitarist Matt Stevens, bassist Carmen Rothwell, and drummer Joey Baron. Like his previous explorations of the influential music of Mary Lou Williams, Wayne Shorter, and Booker Little, this album is sure to inspire listeners to hear the music of Dizzy Gillespie in new and interesting ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50526468538699,"sku":"1093085","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1ad3fe2e-ec4e-4698-9384-fa5123376c71_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728044063"},{"product_id":"gifts-2","title":"GIFTS","description":"\u003cp\u003eModern jazz giant Dave Douglas releases his first new album in almost 2 years with a new project titled GIFTS - This debut album is Dave playing with Ian Chang and Rafq Bhatia (members of Son Lux and the Oscar nominated for the score of Everything Everywhere All At Once), as well as the brilliant versatile saxophonist James Brandon Lewis The album is an adventurous exploration of the genre through the lens of composer Billy Strayhorn, covering 4 of his compositions, alongside 6 originals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenleaf Music","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51245989232971,"sku":"2189541","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/201374956186_ede1e985_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1739230423"},{"product_id":"alloy","title":"Alloy","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a major new compositional statement, trumpeter \u003cstrong\u003eDave Douglas\u003c\/strong\u003e returns with \u003cem\u003eAlloy\u003c\/em\u003e, alongside two thrilling young trumpeters: UK native \u003cstrong\u003eAlexandra Ridout\u003c\/strong\u003e, now living in New York, and Dave Adewumi, from New Hampshire and currently in the thick of the NYC contemporary improvised music scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFar from a trumpet blowout session, this is a warm-hued, lyrical release featuring original compositions that highlight the many rich shades of brass, plus a stellar band of improvisers convened for the first time here.

Douglas channels President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1941 “Four Freedoms” speech - freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear - into a compelling new musical project. The ensemble serves as an analogy for a functioning society: four distinct voices coexisting, conversing, and creating through improvisation. Balancing urgency with playfulness and joy, Four Freedoms is a celebration of freedom and collaborative spirit. Four Freedoms was recorded during the Getxo Festival in the Basque Country of Spain, in July 2025. The group recorded a live concert, then reconvened the next day on the same stage to capture focused, intimate versions of the music without an audience. “I wanted to capture both the excitement of a live performance and the focus and intensity of a studio session. Four Freedoms: Roosevelt’s words feel more relevant than ever - humanities will be essential as we face the challenge of cohabiting on this singularly gorgeous planet.” – Dave Douglas\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenleaf Music","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":56052108427595,"sku":"R2338-8528","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/unnamed-2025-12-05T134526.200.jpg?v=1764942334"},{"product_id":"transcend","title":"Transcend","description":"\u003cp\u003eProlific trumpeter and composer Dave Douglas announces the release of Transcend, featuring his all-star GIFTS Quintet.
