Dave Douglas live in New York

Experience Dave Douglas live on September 15th

Dave Douglas will perform at The Stone at The New School in New York City on September 15, 2026. Douglas is a trumpeter, composer, and educator known for his work spanning post-bop, jazz, and various explorations incorporating elements of world music and classical forms. His compositions often feature complex harmonies, rhythmic interplay, and a focus on melodic development, frequently drawing inspiration from American folk music and narrative structures. He has led numerous ensembles throughout his career and released recordings on labels including Blue Note and Greenleaf Music.

The Stone is a renowned, intimate performance space dedicated to avant-garde music. Originally founded in 2005 by John Zorn as an independent venue in the East Village, it relocated to The New School’s University Center in 2018. It maintains a commitment to presenting challenging and experimental work across genres – primarily jazz, improvised music, and new composition – with a focus on supporting emerging artists alongside established figures. The space is characterized by its minimalist aesthetic and dedication to providing a listening environment prioritizing musical exploration over commercial considerations. Its programming is curated independently of The New School’s academic departments but benefits from the university affiliation.
