Little Giant Still Life Dave & the Westerlies Douglas

*'Little Giant Still Life'* is an exhilarating album from trumpeter and composer **Dave Douglas** *(Horace Silver, John Zorn, Joe Lovano)* featuring five brass players and drums. Much of this music was inspired by the American painter **Stuart Davis** and the music explodes with the same bright colors and excitement of **Davis'** works. Combining the acclaimed talents of brass ensemble **The Westerlies** - known for their work with *Fleet Foxes,* their repertoire of original compositions, and interpretations of the music of **Wayne Horvitz** - and the soulful young drummer **Anwar Marshall** *(Fresh Cut Orchestra, Kurt Rosenwinkel),* with **Douglas'** inspired compositional vision, the album is full of grooving, swinging, lyrical new jazz.
