Dave Douglas

"A Thousand Evenings" (from 2000) features a small group
with truly orchestral ambitions. Accordion virtuoso Guy
Klucevsek and string players Greg Cohen (bass) and Mark
feldman (violin) join Douglas on a taut program of
originals and a sensational version of Nat Adderley's
The Boy With the Sad Eyes.
It's a record full of elegiac graceful melody and sober
playing. Douglas doesn't play the form of blues here, yet
I find this fascinating for a kind of beautiful blues
feel, Euro-centric and fashioned with 'jazz' technique as
it is. Sounds universal.
