Our Take

Dave Douglas, Brad Shepik, and Jim Black come together in Constellations, a jazz album that truly shines like a star-studded sky. With Douglas on trumpet, Shepik on guitar, and Black on drums, this trio delivers a cosmic blend of improvisational talent that is out of this world.

From the opening track, "Starry Night," the listener is immediately transported to a jazz-infused galaxy where notes swirl and spin like planets in orbit. Douglas's trumpet work is both emotive and technically masterful, while Shepik's guitar playing adds a layer of complexity that is truly mesmerizing.

Black's drumming is the glue that holds it all together, providing a rhythmic foundation that keeps the listener grounded amidst the celestial chaos. Tracks like "Nebula Dreams" and "Galactic Groove" showcase the trio's ability to explore the outer reaches of musical possibility, with each member taking turns to shine like their own personal supernova.

Constellations is a testament to the virtuosity and chemistry of these three musicians, who come together to create a sonic universe that is as vast and mysterious as the night sky itself. So put on your headphones, close your eyes, and prepare to be taken on a journey through the stars with Dave Douglas, Brad Shepik, and Jim Black as your guides. It's a trip you won't soon forget.
