The production quality is quite astonishing. It offers a clean and pristine sound but with a bit of a retro charm that tips the hat off to the greats of the jazz/swing era. The balance is incredible, enabling the listeners to fully enjoy the nuances they can experience in Doug’s performance and sound on this album. Catch the Wave is energetic and catchy, personal and understated, echoing the work of influential artists such as Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka, and Dean Martin, only to mention a few.
