5.0 out of 5 stars Another Douglas highlight!, March 17, 2000
This review is from: Leap of Faith (Audio CD)
This recording from Dave Douglas is a major event. Leap of Faith finds the quartet in remarkable form. Evidently recorded after an extensive tour, the band are completely at ease with each other, caught at a moment of intense creativity. Dave and Chris Potter are developing such a rapport that there are moments here that are truly incredible. I know some people find the lack of a chordal instrument, and the resultant fractured harmonies difficult at times but music happens in the space between the notes and this is beautiful music. (If yow want to hear how a trumpet and drum duet can SOUND like a whole orchetra, listen to Dave's record with Han Bennink). James Genus and Ben Perowsky are great (Ben's trio with Chris Speed and Scott Colley is a must buy). Dave Douglas is building a body of work which is unmatched in contemporary music for its breadth and creative focus. Buy this, and together with "Soul on soul" you have two of the most important recordings of the year so far.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great follow-up., December 4, 2000

This review is from: Leap of Faith (Audio CD)
A great follow-up to "Magic Triangle". Compositions are strong and performances are flawless. Drummer Ben Perowsky really stands out on this recording. Dave Douglas continues to amaze as both a performer and a composer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid, August 18, 2000
By 
Stephen (Virginia Beach, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leap of Faith (Audio CD)
This is a solid set. The compositions are very good and the playing is basically flawless. In comparison to Douglas' other work its lacking a special spark. I tend to respond to Douglas' stranger instrumental line -ups (Tiny Bell, Charms and the String Group). If your looking for straightahead mainstream jazz which approaches the margins this (along with SOul on Soul and MAgic Triangle) is a must buy.
