Prolific trumpeter and composer, Dave Douglas', Transcend features his all-star GIFTS Quintet. Blending electronics, lyricism, and high-energy interplay, the ensemble operates at full force, driven by a clear spiritual vision.
Following his 2024 release, GIFTS - honoring Billy Strayhorn - Transcend continues Douglas’ exploration of legacy, spirituality, and ensemble innovation. Transcend features the same core group as GIFTS, including DownBeat Artist of the Year tenor saxophonist James Brandon Lewis and two members of the Oscar-nominated post-rock trio Son Lux: guitarist Rafiq Bhatia and drummer Ian Chang. Expanded with the addition of cellist and MacArthur Genius Awardee Tomeka Reid, the quintet employs a radical new instrumentation.
Transcend is created in observance of Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concerts, landmark works performed between 1965-1973, and widely regarded as the spiritual culmination of Ellington’s career. Douglas draws inspiration from this ethos, by engaging with the spirit of openness, reverence, and humanity.
