All About Jazz[2]

JazzTimes said "the most satisfying moments generally occur when Douglas is flexing his brawny tone and agile ideas to seize the spotlight or support his fellow horn player".[3] On All About Jazz Troy Collins stated "Riverside pays homage to Giuffre's progressive concepts through the creation of new works that draw inspiration from his oeuvre, rather than merely rehashing it. The deceptive simplicity of folk-based themes, rich harmonic counterpoint and subtle rhythmic interplay are the basic foundations of Giuffre's aesthetic—aspects Riverside makes its own on this vibrant premiere".[2]

Personnel
gollark: It's like notches - you theoretically have a bunch of area in the box/screen, but can't use it properly because a bit is cut off.
gollark: I feel like rounded corners mostly just waste space.
gollark: Also excessive margins.
gollark: Yes, space-wasting, there are useless rounded corners, an excessively large send button, and that sort of thing.
gollark: See? Horrible space-wasting UI.
