Greenleaf Music

Opening another chapter in his award-winning career, trumpeter, composer and bandleader Dave Douglas has announced the formation and launch of an ambitious new record label, Greenleaf Music. Douglas will follow his successful recording career at RCA-Bluebird by producing his own projects for Greenleaf, continuing his vision of an American Music moving forward in all directions. He will also serve as Artistic Director for the label, providing a supportive platform for other cutting edge artists involved in new music. Joining Douglas in this venture is Michael Friedman, an experienced label manager with a track record of success at both indy and major labels. Longtime friends, Douglas and Friedman are coming together at this time out of a shared desire to produce and release quality masters into the marketplace, to see that fresh approaches are brought to the selling of music and to create a business environment that is mutually beneficial for artist and record company.

Keystone and I have finished our new recording and it will be released very soon. Here is the cover of the first album in the trilogy of CDs and we’re all really excited about the collaboration with filmmaker Bill Morrison on Spark of Being. ‘Soundtrack’ is the first release of three — it’s the music from the actual film. We’ve documented much more than that, with two CDs of Keystone recordings from the sessions in Stanford.



We’ll be making a big push for this first release as well as for the three CD set and new subscription podcasts and conversations.



I think you’ll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.
