A new world of Dave music.
Pre-order now to receive each single as they emerge, plus exclusive studio footage. The album arrives September 5, 2025.
Dave Douglas joins forces with Patricia Brennan, Kate Pass, Rudy Royston and special guest trumpeters Alexandra Ridout and Dave Adewumi.
Recorded January 19, 2025, in New York City, Alloy marks an exciting new chapter for Douglas and the team.
In metallurgy, an alloy is a blending of elements to create a new and stronger substance. An alloy brings together disparate particles in a unified expression, stronger than its parts. This Alloy is the sound of three trumpets together. Each sound is personal, each tone unique. Weaving seamlessly into the tapestry of the band. Alloy is the alchemy of contrasting voices creating a new anatomy.
Alloy’s first single, “Standing Watch” is a statement of wariness, with unwavering faith in our ability to pull through. An ode to teamwork, “Standing Watch” features everybody, the trumpeters initially playing together and then each having a statement over this blues, followed by a brilliant take from Patricia Brennan. Dedicated and with a commitment to bear witness, as well as having some fun while doing it.
“Standing Watch” is out today, July 23. Listen below and pre-order the album on Digital or CD over at our Bandcamp.
