Charms of the Night Sky


Charms of the Night Sky is the tenth album by trumpeter Dave Douglas. It was released on the German Winter & Winter label in 1998 and features performances by Douglas, Greg Cohen, Mark Feldman and Guy Klucevsek.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Steve Loewy awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Trumpeter Dave Douglas has participated in so many styles of music that listing them all would be mesmerizing. Some of his best work has been performed in free style and hard bop jazz groups. Here, he charts a different path, albeit one that he has pursued successfully before, in a mellow, lovely vein".
