Fans of the acclaimed trumpeter Douglas should take refuge in the fact that this recording is not based on a concept, a tribute, or a particular etched-in-stone, long-time working group. This is Douglas with friends -- tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, bassist James Genus and drummer Ben Perowsky -- simply making some of the leader's most challenging original music yet. Each selection is unique unto itself; each is boldly italicized, chameleonic in nature, and completely unpredictable.
