Dave Douglas & Uri Caine A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Any attempt to pigeonhole the musical style of trumpeter Dave Douglas or pianist Uri Caine is doomed to failure. Nevertheless their duo is a modern-day classic. Both are accomplished instrumentalists and their compositions have permeated the American east coast’s jazz scene for decades. Although Caine has been a member of the Douglas band since the turn of the millennium, and they have proven their coordinated harmony in several joint recordings, Present Joys (2014) was their first duo album, and it immediately won enthusiastic support among a wide circle of music fans and in professional circles. Some of the raw ingredients on this recording are picked from the Sacred Harp songbook, bringing together elements of Protestant hymns and American folk songs from the southern states of American in the 1700s. Naturally their own compositions are also on this lyrical album which displays sonic intimacy while also revealing a spirit for experimentation. These two masters of improvisation take us on a similar adventure in the Liszt Academy.
