It’s been a week since the release of Dave Douglas’ brand new record, Four Freedoms!

Some highlights from press coverage to date:

“A very original and vibrant album that contributes to the ongoing debate on how to integrate composition and improvisation.” – UK Jazz News

“Knit together into a seamless acoustic whole, Douglas acts as the noir-ish connective tissue…between each player’s sublime chatter.” – JazzTimes

“In Four Freedoms, Douglas and his new quartet work through nine originals determined to show there is structure, beauty, exuberance, tears and joy in celebrating freedom.” – Papatamus Redux

“Douglas has long been a master at producing tracks that allow the listener to fill in the blanks of meaning, and Four Freedoms is the leader and his latest crew at their mind-expanding best.” – The Big Takeover

“A newly formed working band whose cohesion rests on shared vocabulary and intent rather than physical proximity, its music animated by alert listening and collective purpose.” – AllAboutJazz

“…[a] compelling series of thoughtful, deeply emotional, and powerful pieces that, hopefully, will inspire many of us to act and bring light and liberty.” – Salt Peanuts*

“The four ensemble members explore anew the possibilities of structure, form and freedom, composed and improvised, soloistic and interactive, energetically tense and melancholically atmospheric.” – Stereo (Germany)

“I am totally intrigued by Douglas and his band. The quartet members are alertly sensitive to each other and unfailingly intelligent in their choices, which makes them fun to hear… Their freedom becomes a commentary on what they know.” The Arts Fuse

“With Four Freedoms, Douglas’s quartet makes an outstanding statement, one eminently accessible at times, and out on the edges in others. Let freedom ring.” Post Genre
