Dave Douglas Gifts Trio

The Dave Douglas Gifts Trio is inspired by the life and music of tenor saxophonist Charles Lloyd. The trio reflects Lloyd’s vision in an innovative way and explores Lloyd’s fascination with Billy Strayhorn’s music. The album Gifts, featuring musicians other than the trio, arrived in the fall of 2024 and received rave reviews for its curious and creative interpretations of Strayhorn classics such as Take the A-train and Blood Count.
