Dave Holland
Born:
Amid endless choices, the sound of a Dave Holland bass line compels attention. A master of tone and rhythm, the bassist, composer, and bandleader is now in his fifth decade as a performer and his music possesses a rich and kaleidoscopic history. One of Holland's mentors, the affably sage-like saxophonist Sam Rivers, gave him a tip once. "Sam said, ‘Don't leave anything out?"play all of it,' " Holland once told a radio interviewer.

Ralph Towner: The Accidental Guitarist
by Mario Calvitti
This article was first published on All About Jazz on May 16, 2017. Ralph Towner is a rather atypical figure in the vast world of jazz guitar. His instruments of choice are the classical guitar, which when he started, in the '60s, was played almost exclusively by guitarists related to Brazilian music like Charlie ...
Ralph Towner, 1940-2026
Ralph Towner, guitarist of unique sensibility, writer of highly original compositions, and an ECM artist for more than fifty years, has died, aged 85.

John Scofield/Dave Holland: Memories Of Home
by Doug Collette
It should come as no surprise that guitarist John Scofield and bassist Dave Holland sound so simpatico on Memories Of Home. The two veteran musicians have traveled in similar and familiar circles over the course(s) of their decades-long careers.

I Dischi del 2025 secondo Ludovico Granvassu
by Ludovico Granvassu
Immortalare la bellezza e la varietà del jazz pubblicato nel 2025 attraverso una “top ten" appare tanto arduo, vano--e alla fine deludente--quanto cercare di fotografare un tramonto sulla costiera amalfitana usando una rudimentale fotocamera digitale e facendo un forellino sul copriobiettivo. Certo, una foto verrà scattata. Potrebbe persino dimostrare che eri lì, in quel momento, quando ...
Ludovico Granvassu's Garden Of Jazzy Delights 2025
by Ludovico Granvassu
Capturing the breathtaking beauty, range, and diversity of jazz released in 2025 through a list of “10 best albums" feels as challenging, vain--and ultimately disappointing--as trying to photograph the Grand Canyon at sunset by placing a pinhole in front of a rudimentary digital camera's lens. Sure, a picture will be taken. It might even prove you ...
John Scofield Dave Holland: Memories Of Home
by Jack Kenny
This album is fundamentally about rapport, deep listening, and a shared musical history that traces back to Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, and the quartet with Joe Lovano and Al Foster. John Scofield's distinctive guitar style seamlessly integrates post-bop, fusion, funk, and roots-based influences. His dry, idiosyncratic tone and subtle inflections have helped redefine modern ...
