Modern jazz giant Dave Douglas releases his first new album in almost two years with a new project titled GIFTS. GIFTS’ debut album finds Dave playing with Ian Chang and Rafiq Bhatia (members of Son Lux and Oscar-nominated for the score of Everything Everywhere All At Once), as well as the brilliantly versatile saxophonist James Brandon Lewis. The album is an adventurous exploration of the genre through the lens of composer Billy Strayhorn, covering four of his compositions, alongside six originals.
