Multi-talented Guitarist Doug MacDonald has released a new CD, "I'll See You In My Dreams" and it's exactly what the best of American Jazz is about. Doug has included a group of standards and two of his own original compositions on the CD. In addition, he has brought with him one of the finest Jazz trios performing today, Pianist Tamir Hendelman, John Clayton on Bass and Jeff Hamilton on Drums. Doug's life evolves around music. He is always experimenting with music both old and new, recording new CDs, composing and an MC at a local Southern California radio Jazz show. Doug performs almost nightly in every part of Southern California to the delight of his thousands of fans.
If someone new to Jazz had any questions about what American Jazz is all about they need to listen to Doug's new CD. Doug and the three musicians playing on this CD have performed some of the greatest music in the country. All four musicians are outstanding whether playing solo or playing in a group.
Doug offers these reflextions on why he did this recording. "In the mid-eighties I was a member of the Snooky Young/Bob Cooper Sextet, The Jack Sheldon Group and played in an early version of the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. Now here we are almost 40 years later, together again". We are also delighted that Doug, Tamir, John and Jeff got together again!
I have attached two "YouTube" videos from this CD. The first is the Matt Dennis/Tony Adair standard, "Will You Still Be Mine" and the second is a delightful Blues tune "New Mark".
