Dave Douglas and Frank Woeste Quartet featuring Matt Brewer and Clarence Penn - Dada People (2016) [Hi-Res]

Dada People is a collaborative project between American trumpeter Dave Douglas and French pianist Frank Woeste, inspired by the Dadaist movement and the work of Man Ray. The album explores the intersection of avant-garde and popular art through a contemporary jazz lens. Compositions crafted by the duo are imbued with a spirit of experimentation, playfulness, and mystery, echoing the Dadaists’ freedom of expression.
