On April 30, International Jazz Day, in the Bimhuis: Sensational electric band with four jazz maestros brought together by eminent double bassist Dave Holland, who made name collaborating with Miles Davis.

British double bassist/composer Dave Holland is one of the 10 most important living jazz masters according to Downbeat Magazine. His electric band Prism brings to mind the time he played on innovative Miles Davis albums such as In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. Prism’s successful debut album, a favorite in the end-of-year-lists of critics in 2014, is a colorful mix of styles, with raw guitar playing by Kevin Eubanks, warm electric piano by Craig Taborn and energetic drums by Eric Harland. The repertory is diverse, with compositions by all four members. Jazz, blues, funk and rock: it all comes together in this sensational all-star band.

‘Propelled by Harland’s pulverizing strokes, Eubanks plays with stinging, slashing power, Taborn creates color and energy at the Fender Rhodes and Holland works from underneath to define the shape and groove of the song’ (Jazz Times).
