Ed Brunswick Concert
Grammy-winning saxophonist/composer Joe Lovano and Grammy-nominated trumpeter Dave Douglas are masters on their respective instruments within the pantheon of modern jazz. From their collaborations on acclaimed recordings such as Trio Fascination: Edition Two, Lovano and Douglas have shown that their distinct and robust voices can lead, blend, and push the idiom forward both in composition and improvisation, while embracing the front-line masters of previous generations.
In 2008, when Lovano and Douglas were co-leaders of the renowned SFJAZZ Collective, the group paid tribute to living icon Wayne Shorter, showcasing arrangements of Shorter originals alongside newly composed pieces influenced by Shorter’s compositional voice.
The experience led the two instrumentalists to conceive the Joe Lovano & Dave Douglas Quintet, Sound Prints, an all-star ensemble including up-and-coming pianist Lawrence Fields, bassist Linda Oh, and drummer Joey Baron. Performing new repertoire as well as brand new Shorter compositions in direct collaboration with Shorter, the quintet is less an homage to Wayne Shorter than a unique convergence of three unparalleled musical minds.
