What if

"While the playing is fantastic throughout, what really sets this cooking session apart is the way Douglas arranges. He not only makes the most of his players' instrumental skills, but also paints these tunes as vehicles for canny improvisation and group interplay. What If is another high-water mark in a catalog full of them".

"In all, What If is not only a superb instrumental showcase, it's an endlessly enjoyable listen that never once flaunts its virtuosity nor underestimates the listener by pandering. Instead, it's yet another solid installment in the long line of work Jerry Douglas has produced over the last few decades. What If is a treat through and through".

"Whether you come for hot licks, compositional diversity or to experience a talented band firing on all cylinders with like-minded players delving into a variety of styles they love, the superb What If has you covered. Hopefully this is the start of a long term ensemble, willing to test individual musical parameters and expand their roots based standards into new, dynamic and fresh frontiers".
