Vocalist and shamisen player Emi Makabe joins Dave Douglas for a conversation about her new album, Anniversary.

Writer Dan Bilawsky gives the album 4 1/2 stars!

Emi and her quartet will livestream from from SEEDS::Brooklyn at 8:30pm.

John Shand calls it, "a Douglas album, with his love of mixing surging rhythms, angular lines and sections that float by like white clouds across a summer sky."

Bandcamp says: "Emi Makabe’s communion of modern jazz and Japanese folk makes for an auspicious debut."

Subscribers can participate in a live ZOOM chat on Nov 8th.

A special premium release only from our Bandcamp store.

Recorded remotely along with trumpeter David Adewumi.

Nate Chinen says, ""Fair Fight" is the obvious track to promote this week — a reminder that impartiality and integrity are critical to the election process."

Bandcamp purchasers receive a bonus track that doesn't appear on the CD, an alternate version of the title track.

Nick sat down with Dave Douglas, via Zoom, for a wide ranging conversation about music making, trumpet playing, family, referencing heroes, the influence of geography on music, and more.

The song features vocalist Sofia Rei as well as solos by trombonist Matt McDonald and alto saxophonist Michael Thomas.
