Title: My Favorite Dave Douglas CD
Product review: This album features the same lineup as Strange Liberation with the exception of Donny Mccaslin replacing Chris Potter on Tenor Sax and there is no Bill Frisell. I'm a Chris Potter fan, so at first I thought I might be dissapointed in his replacement, but McCaslin's playing is flat out amazing. McCaslin and Dave Douglass have excellent chemistry and there are several songs that feature intertwining solos and melodies. The song writing is great on this album there is a lot of space and everyone which gives all the members of the band a chance to express themselves. There is nothing radically new happening here, but if you want to hear an album with creative song writing and excellent playing then pick this one up. Highlights on the album are Culture Wars and Elks club. Apparently Elks club was inspired on a recent trip to Banf where Dave encountered an Elk while writing the song on vacation.
