Here are some poignant thoughts from the co-leaders of the Webber/Morris Big Band.

Michael J. West calls the album's original compositions, "cloaked in Douglas' own envelope-pushing conception."

J.D. Considine says, "Metropolis Paradise is full of sly rhythmic interplay, cleverly constructed compositions."

Martin Williams says, "Both Are True is a compelling assemblage of intense ideas brought to exciting fruition."

Dave Sumner says, "The way in which Angela Morris and Anna Webber marry the strange and familiar is fascinating."

Writer Dan Ouellette calls the album "riveting and mercurial."

Keaton Lamie calls the Metropolis Paradise, "an album that flows seamlessly between smooth and progressive jazz."

JAZZIZ says, "Douglas takes a deep dive into the work of bebop great Dizzy Gillespie on his brand new album."

The album was included in Phil Freeman's monthly 'Ugly Beaty' piece, along with a number of great new releases.

Giovanni Russonello says of 'Coral': "Throughout, no steady rhythm takes hold. But at the end, when those original, idyllic harmonies return, so does a sense of peace."

They call the album, "an accomplished conjoint effort."
