High Risk - Molten Sunset - all-star jazz/electronica group of Dave Douglas, Mark Guiliana, Jonathan Maron, & Shigeto

Last year I had the honor of flying to New York for a recording session with the prolific jazz trumpet player Dave Douglas. It was for his new quartet "High Risk" with Jonathan Maron and Mark Guiliana. We had never played together before. We all met up at the Bunker Studio in Brookyln and with the combined help of Douglas's amazing tunes and a whole lot of improvisation knocked it out in one session This is the first track "Molten Sunset" from our upcoming release on Douglas's imprint Greenleaf Music coming out later this spring. “High Risk” is an exciting new electro-acoustic quartet lead by Dave Douglas. At the vanguard of modern jazz and electronic music, High Risk incorporates elements of improvisation into its sound, beat and song. On bass and drums, current scene leaders Jonathan Maron and Mark Guiliana explore new territory through groove and electronic manipulation. With the addition of Detroit based producer / DJ Shigeto, the group fuses melodic lyricism, stuttering, textured electronics, deep bass lines and driving drums. Building on the excitement of the pioneering ensemble Keystone, this quartet is the latest chapter in Douglas' involvement in electronic jazz—an exciting and colorful new exposition of improvised possibilities. We'll be playing a special debut show APRIL 1ST in DETROIT at Trinosophes (I'm not fooling around, ha) and then hitting the road in Europe shortly after. Hope to see some of you there!
