Touch My Beloved's Thought
by Greg Ward

supported by 658 fans who also own “Rise of Orion”

Ward's swirling, breezy sax feels very close and intimate - listening to it I pictured myself in a small basement room as the band played - but the 10 tongues paint a joyful and sophisticated urban fairytale that changes scene cinematically and builds to a satisfying finale. Tom Colquhoun

Brazen Heart
by Dave Douglas Quintet

supported by 656 fans who also own “Rise of Orion”

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... John Cratchley

Dada People
by Dave Douglas & Frank Woeste

supported by 649 fans who also own “Rise of Orion”

This is a beautiful, lyrical session. The interplay between Dave Douglas's trumpet and Frank Woeste's keyboards creates some surprisingly lush textures and the rhythm section of Matt Brewer and Clarence Penn lift it to another level. A real find. chorna
