‘Overcome’ by Dave Douglas featured on NPR’s Morning Edition
Overcome, the new album from Dave Douglas, was featured on NPR’s Morning Edition!
In the piece, Jazz Musicians Discover New Possibilities Amid Coronavirus Pandemic, Nate Chinen says of the album:
More and more, artists have also discovered ways to connect across the ether, collaborating from their respective bubbles. Trumpeter Dave Douglas made a digital album this way, called ‘Overcome,’ with singer / songwriters Fay Victor and Camila Meza, and a few other partners. They created the music in pieces, passing files back and forth. But the sound of their communion makes it seem as if they’re all in a room together. That’s precisely the image they’re seeking to evoke, and the hope they’re holding onto in the meantime.
The segment features great new music from Fred Hersch, Brandee Younger, Dezron Douglas, Chris Potter, and David Torn. Listen to it all here.
Overcome is available exclusively on Bandcamp in digital format only. The album features trombonist, Ryan Keberle, vocalist Fay Victor, vocalist and guitarist Camila Meza, bassist Jorge Roeder, and drummer Rudy Royston.
