DAVE DOUGLAS New World Records 80471 In Out Lifetime "My own feelings about the direction in which jazz should go are that there should be much less stress on technical exhibitionism and much more on emotional content, on what might be termed humanity in music and the freedom to say all that you want."—Booker Little "It is not a question of presenting works in the context of their time, but rather of describing the time which recognizes them, i.e. our own time, by evolving the time which gave rise to them."—Walter Benjamin DAVE DOUGLAS IN OUR LIFETIME 1.
