ABOUT THE CD:
Laying down grooves abnormally thick in the traditions
of his teachers, Jaco, Stanley and Bootsy, Doug believes in soul. "You're
really gonna dig this" is most people's reaction to this debut CD.
It's layered with fat horns in the tradition of Tower of Power
as well as stripped down funkbass and congas, some even say "angry
jazz".
There's definitely variety here, but one common theme ... truth.
