about
In 2007 I was invited to the Saalfelden Festival in Austria to play my first ever solo concert on electronic drums. It was to be in a small hall, maybe 300 people, in the afternoon. But then, some weeks before the date, there was a cancellation, and so my concert was moved to a prime time evening slot in the main tent - 3,000 people.
I was a bit anxious because the electronics could be iffy - I imagined all sorts of horrors from small program glitches to my main unit not functioning properly at 220 volts and frying, to, oh, I don't know, maybe a complete electrical catastrophe where I blew all fuses, set the tent on fire, and thousands of people cursing me as they ran for their lives.
None of that happened of course, it went off without a hitch. But I did do one smart thing - instead of the festival MC, I got my old friend and Jazz legend Steve Swallow to introduce me, because he is the soul of serenity and I knew nothing would dare to go awry after his vibe. So that is the voice you hear at the top.

Brazen Heart Live at Jazz Standard - Complete
by Dave Douglas Quintet 2015supported by 10 fans who also own “220”
Yes,yes,yes! I've been waiting for Dave to do this again...two brilliant runs by DDQ and Keystone were documented on Greenleaf back in the day; they were groundbreaking...recorded and released within 24 hours for each set...they were stellar performances and I play them again and again. With absolutely no chance of ever being there, this is the closest i'll ever be to 'being there'...so excited I may need to lay down in a darkened room for a while!

Brazen Heart
by Dave Douglas Quintetsupported by 10 fans who also own “220”
This quintet has acquired legendary status as a working unit...all the musicians are exemplary at their craft and DD is one of my 'Big5'...he is an exquisite composer of both depth and breadth of vision...you can instantly recognise Dave's DNA in a tune...what's more, you feel there is also so much more to come!;his powers of expression are so special. These compositions are from the heart and I can only suggest that you take them to yours...
