Industry Reviews ...Douglas' originals, which are episodic and avant-garde (but not afraid to swing), expertly mix together improvisation with composition and are consistently colorful. His flexible band...is able to switch grooves quickly and interpret the frequently dramatic music with sensitivity and wit....highly recommended... Jazziz (12/01/1995)
4 Stars - Very Good - ...IN OUR LIFETIME aims to rescue the music of trumpeter Booker Little from decades of neglect and bring it into the '90s. Composed of pieces written (or inspired) by Little, the CD emphasizes Douglas' skills as composer and arranger while working with a sextet or a septet... Down Beat (03/01/1996)
