JazzClub/Dave Douglas/Magic formula for the greatest

Miles Davis led two legendary quintets. Which one is Dave Douglas's great quintet? The former with Chris Potter and Uri Caine recorded The Infinite and Strange Liberation, the latter with Jon Irabagon and Linda May Han Oh — Be Still and Time Travel. What about the star-studded Sound Prints with Joe Lovano in the lineup? Every great composer after Beethoven had to write a great Fifth Symphony, every trumpeter after Miles knows that the quintet is a magical formula created for him. Since his debut on Parallel Worlds in 1993, Douglas has created more than half a hundred albums as a leader and has written more than five hundred released compositions. He has already joined the pantheon of the greatest, which should be listened to with attention in any configuration. But a quintet is a quintet. And the restraint acquired with age gives a special meaning to each note won by the Douglas trumpet.
