Come on down and get some red beans
Way down yonder in New Orleans
Catfish, Gumbo, Étouffée
Gonna keep you full 'til Mardi Gras day

Sometimes when it rains in May
They say
Will gloom be everlasting
Or will the sun rise
Sooner than soon
So flowers will bloom
Even when it's days and days
So grey,
the question I am asking
When will the light shine
Into my room
So flowers will bloom
Soon enough the sun will chase the clouds away
Loosening the chains that shackle my heart
And every ounce of pain that threatens
To seize the day
Gone to stay
And opens up the sky revealing the
Promise of the moon
And flowers will bloom

So much fun and joy and swing, and the instrumentation allows for some super-fresh sounds as well as some old-timey goodness. And simply great tunes too!

Brazen Heart
by Dave Douglas Quintet

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...

The perfect puzzle. The leaders are free to concentrate on their individual statements as well as on perfectly complementing each other. The rhythm group carries them to where they want to move in jazz heaven with verve and spirit. And yes, I enjoy following them.
