D. Douglas was mentioned on WGBH radio over the weekend. I thought: "Hey! I'm so hip to that."
Thanks for giving me access to elite jazz knowledge.

He's the real deal. I'm SO looking forward to the October gig. Last time he played in support of his album recorded w/ guitar great Bill Frisell (unfortunately Mr. Frisell wasn't on the Cambridge bill.) However Douglas traded licks with tenor sax player Chris Potter. Potter was clearly the secret weapon of the band. The standout, IMHO was a Dave Douglas- arranged version of Bjork's "Unison" (off of the Vespertine album.)
Another great thing about the night was the warm sound of the fender rhodes electric piano (or was the warmth from all the beer I had w/ Bizquig? hmmm)
At any rate, DD is worth the snooty regattabar bux.
As far as 'elite jazz knowledge', Naked City once adeptly summed up this condition in their seminal piece "Jazz Snob Eat Shit"
Music is music, Jazzbos that feign superiority of their beloved genre irk me to no end.
