The Douglas Ray Jaffe Project “Angles”

“These four tracks play like the gems they are, and as the end draws near the vocals change up for the surprise of the release, but not before the first three tracks grace your ears with a delicate balance of beauty and finesse.“

~Gwen Waggoner, Skope

The sound of the Douglas Ray Jaffe (EP) Angles, is largely attributed to Jaffe’s songwriting and producer Craig Brandwein’s masterful touches in the studio, but it’s also built for the featured vocalists, one per cut, out of four total on the EP.“

~Jennifer Munoz, Vents Magazine

“Poetic musical fusion finds a way the Douglas Jay Jaffe Project’s new four track EP, entitled: ANGLES, with three outstanding female vocal fronted and one male vocal fronted piece to put the icing on the proverbial cake Jaffe baked up along with producer extraordinaire, Craig Brandwein of Center Sound Productions.“

~ Rachel Townsend, The Spotted Cat Magazine

“Douglas Ray Jaffe combines whit, humor and some mysticism pairing his words and band’s music with a variety of singers spanning four well-crafted songs on the “Angles” EP, a Craig Brandwein production with vocals and music from his camp with the lyric writing of Jaffe centered around people watching, which is his favorite thing to do.“

~Cleopatra Patel, Big Celebrity Buzz

“The Angles EP by the Douglas Ray Jaffe Project, has been described as an EP of poetic musical fusion, and it probably does describe it best, even though it turns in something substantially different on each track, it’s produced with such precision it plays like one story with four completely different chapters, particularly the last chapter where it all comes together.“

~ Claire Uebelacker, ballyhoo

“The Douglas Ray Jaffe Project brings together four singers with their own up- front contributions to the four songs on the new EP release — Angles — which also includes the production of Craig Brandwein, and they all share the south in common and Center Sound Productions studio work.“

~ Colin Jordan, Medium Magazine

“Getting right to the songs on the Angles EP by the Douglas Ray Jaffe Project isn’t cut and dried before the music even gets heard, as the artist himself writes stories for musicians to tell, so what it has to do with Jaffe should be known before the listener knows what they’re getting themself into, barring the music before it unless no care is taken concerning who this music is by in the first place. Essentially, Jaffe is a poet with knack for words presented to others who makes great songs out of his stories, and this consists of four tracks, each with a different theme and vocalist.“

~ Michael Rand, Mobangeles.com

“Douglas Ray Jaffe is a musician’s poet bringing voices out to play on ANGLES, the four track disc with Drey Arnold, Mollie Flotemersch, Natalie Kasper, and Bob Schnider, putting in their own interpretations of Jaffe’s stories and making them even more magical.“

~ Mindy McCall, Indie Pulse Music

“The music is heavily piano driven with modern pop and classical inflections, which makes for some haunting and deeply thoughtful pieces with world class vocals to convey Jaffe’s words.“

~ Mark Druery, Indie Shark Music Reviews

“Douglas Ray Jaffe’s journey from beginning as a writer into a perhaps improbable musical career isn’t as unlikely as it may first seem. One listen to his eponymous debut EP, Douglas Ray Jaffe Project, introduces the talented songwriter as a natural fit for musical art, and his literary talents readily translate into modern music. The brief duration of the EP isn’t an impediment to diversity – three tracks are all he needs to establish an impressive stylistic range.”
