Dave Holland Quintet: Not For Nothin'
by David Adler
The follow-up to last year’s Prime Directive is another must-hear. Once again, Dave Holland turns to each of his bandmates for writing contributions, considerably expanding the rhythmic and harmonic palette of the quintet. Chris Potter’s irrepressible “Lost and Found" may just be one of the best jazz tracks of our day. Robin Eubanks’s “Global Citizen," the ...
Bill Frisell with Dave Holland and Elvin Jones: Bill Frisell with Dave Holland and Elvin Jones
by Glenn Astarita
The mere fact that legendary drummer, Elvin Jones, and bassist Dave Holland are backing guitarist, Bill Frisell makes for an interesting proposition. However, those familiar with Jones and Holland should be aware of their respective faculties as artists who have performed with the creme de al creme of jazz, as their resumes and legacies are well ...
Dave Holland: Not For Nothin'
by C. Andrew Hovan
Although it may not quite approach the grandeur and sonority of his ‘80s ensemble with Kenny Wheeler and Marvin “Smitty” Smith, bassist Dave Holland’s current group continues to show promise in the light of their most recent editions for ECM. While drummer Billy Kilson still seems just a tad too busy for this reviewer, Steve Nelson’s ...

Dave Holland Quintet: Not For Nothin'

Drawing a musical map clarifies the lineage of bands and places them in history.

Meet Duane Eubanks
by AAJ Staff
Duane Eubanks is the youngest practicing member of yet another one of jazz's famous families, the Eubanks. In fact, the Eubanks family's immersion in music began with Duane's maternal grandmother, who passed on the tradition to Duane's mother, Vera, and to Duane's uncles, Ray and Tommy Bryant. Vera still performs in Philadelphia, and one ...
