I’m sorry that todays advent calendar window is opened a bit late, but I had a gig which I consider to be a valid excuse. Anyhow, since it’s late in the night, what could be more suitable than a peaceful track signed by the great trumpet player Dave Douglas.
Dave Douglas - The Infinite
They do a cover of the song Poses by Rufus Wainwright, which appears on one of my favorite Dave Douglas records named The Infinite. It’s one of those tracks that always makes me calm inside, the sound of Dave’s trumpet mixed with bass clarinet, acoustic bass and fender rhodes really set a special mood.
After hearing Dave’s recording I also had to check out Rufus Wainwright’s original, and found it was the title track of his record from 2001. His original is very very beautiful as well and I think I’ll have to listen more to him in the future.
