Lee Rice Epstein says the album, "brilliantly reinterprets and renews Gillespie’s music."

Will Layman says, "The band is given lots of room and lots of responsibility, and each member repays what Douglas asks of them."

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."

Recorded remotely along with trumpeter David Adewumi.

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

Giovanni Russonello says, "Douglas has created a loving tribute with its own liftoff."

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

The new Dave Douglas album inspired by trumpeter and composer Dizzy Gillespie is now available worldwide.

The third single has been added to key playlists on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Tidal.

This imaginative Douglas ballad features a dreamscape created by Matthew Steven's guitar and Fabian Almazan's piano.

The composition is a tribute to both Dizzy Gillespie and the great Dutch abstract artist, Piet Mondrian.

The album's first single "Manteca," is the featured track on the playlist.
