Dave Douglas Quintet - Brazen Heart: Live at Jazz Standard Saturday (2018)

The third of four nights recorded live at Jazz Standard in November 2015. The Dave Douglas Quintet finishes their extensive Brazen Heart tour with a four night run at the Jazz Standard November 19-22. Featuring Jon Irabagon (saxophones), Matt Mitchell (piano), Linda May Han Oh (bass) and Rudy Royston (drums), the group delivers a roller-coaster ride of complex harmonic and rhythmic structures, veering between fierce and soulful. Memorable versions of their entire repertoire, by a band at the height of its powers.

"Douglas' quintet ... is one of the best working groups in jazz. In recent years, Douglas' unflagging intellectual curiosity has led to the creation of a diverse body of work.... His quintet, however, represents a creative pinnacle." Michael Hamad, Hartford Courant
