SUBSCRIBER SERIES

Special Music for Members of Greenleaf Music

The Subscriber Series recording for 2024/25 is Gifts Trio Live by Dave Douglas featuring Rafiq Bhatia & Ian Chang.

‘Gifts Trio Live’ is Dave Douglas with guitarist Rafiq Bhatia and drummer Ian Chang working through the material that would soon become the album simply entitled GIFTS.  Recorded live November 6 2023 in Katowice Poland, the set finds the trio playing a new batch of original music from Dave Douglas, as well as two tracks by iconic composer Billy Strayhorn.

Reflecting on this gig and ensemble, Dave says “This was where we built the music, where a new approach came alive onstage and set us up for GIFTS, the studio album with James Brandon Lewis. Every gig is an opportunity to share what most of us have in common: a love of the arts and humanities. Playing brings out new ways to share that love, putting our music at the service of the very survival of our species. Ian and Rafiq both share a deep commitment to that project and I will be eternally grateful to them joining me on this adventure.”
