Convergence (Dave Douglas album)

Reception

The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested Core Collection.

The Allmusic review by Alex Henderson awarded the album 4½ stars stating "You can hear a variety of influences in Douglas' playing -- everyone from Lester Bowie and Don Cherry to Miles Davis and Booker Little -- but Convergence leaves no doubt that he is very much an original himself".
