DAVE HOLLAND QUINTET

Dave Holland is among the most important innovators of the double bass and the most valued composing bass player since Charles Mingus. In the late 1960s he unleashed a revolution with Miles Davis on albums like Bitches’ Brew and In A Silent Way. Like no other group of its time his own quintet manages to create a new style from traditional jazz and contemporary music components. ‘When the Dave Holland Quintet puts it all together there isn’t a band alive that can touch them’ (Downbeat).
