For those of you who had missed the live chat with Dave Douglas, you can now view the transcript:

The topics are very interesting. Find out if his composition “Tim Bits” was named after a donut store in Canada or inspiration drawn from Tim Berne and Timbaland; what he looks for in reed players; the meaning of the word, “comschtick”; Dave’s trumpet advisor and guru, Laurie Frink; and his work with the program at the Banff Center.

Don't miss this band! I just heard them last night at the Dakota in Minneapolis. damn. Extremely musical and complex without losing the attractiveness of melody and ensemble balance. His compositions are outstanding.

Just saw this thread re: Dave Douglas. My friend Donny Mc Caslin is playing tenor with the quintet and he just smokes.

I've known Donny since he was a kid (I sat in with his Dad's band) and I hired him as my Featured Artist at this year's Santa Cruz Jazz Festival. The guy can blow!!!!

I happned to be in LA when Dave's quintet was at The Jazz Bakery so I spent the evening hanging. Really nice group of people and super musicians.

If you have a chance go see them play. Dave's trumpet playing is first rate and Donny's tenor work will give you tons of new ideas for soloing.
