First outing for acclaimed trumpet player's cut-loose downtown group, playing original compositions with a Monkish tinge plus Weill, Kosma and Tailleferre. Several pieces demonstrate a unique take on traditional music of the former Yugoslavia, combining Balkan and rock or classical elements with jazz. One of New York's most remarkable trios. Audiophile analogue recording.

Press Quotes
Their wonderful new album is an extra-jazzy playground of modern, cabaret-klezmer new music attitudes and vintage Eastern European sonorities. If Schoenberg wrote soundtracks for Porky Pig, as played by jazzers, it might sound something like Douglas's 'Head-On Kouvlodsko'.
—Joseph Woodard, Jazziz
Douglas leads the trio on a wild goose chase of a ride through every conceivable musical terrain...Calling this music 'jazz' is way too limiting...What makes this disc even more special is the superb analogue sound
—Michael Fremer, The Absolute Sound
Douglas thinks beyond musical category, plays his instrument with vast facility, and possesses a wit both dry and bent...The blend is stark, intellectually unsettling, and profoundly elusive...
—Thomas Conrad, CD Review
**** An outstanding player, gifted with a wonderfully fluid style and a deep bag of tonal and timbral effects, he's also a terrific writer and arranger.
—John Corbett, Down Beat
