Dave Douglas and Trish Clowes team up for this new musical voyage. The trumpeter and the reed player each present material written especially for the occasion, with a clear homage to their love of Wayne Shorter. Douglas and Clowes’s music for Eyes Up features Ross Stanley, Chris Montague and Joel Barford, in an open forum for contemporary, rhythmic and lyrical repertoire, allowing for urgent, impassioned playing from the full band. Both leaders bring their full compositional powers to bear in this new collaborative effort, likely to be recorded and expanded over the coming seasons.
