Dave Douglas – Dizzy Atmosphere: Dizzy Gillespie At Zero Gravity

New album featuring an outstanding band. https://amzn.to/2WISNKa

"...a refreshing, very organic amalgam of quirky, jazzy, blue eyed soul and musical sophistication.” – Bret Primack.

An album that hearkens back to the golden era of jazz on Manhattan's 52nd Street, where smoke filled rooms played host to after-hours jam sessions where musicians got together with their peers to play the music that touched their souls. Casey Abrams is the centerpiece of a tremendous ensemble that includes Anne Drummond (flute), Giveton Gelin (trumpet), Jimmy Greene (sax), and Mark Whitfield (guitar).

Jazz is the culmination of decades of combined mastery and skill of the participating players, presented through the lens of a dozen songs from the annals of the greatest American art form...jazz. From "Why Don't You Do Right" to "Autumn Leaves" or "The Girl from Ipanema," you'll hear one of the most unique voices and personalities to enter jazz in decades present this material to you as if it were the first time.
