Dave Holland

A bassist and bandleader of incredible virtuosity and versatility. After being discovered by Miles Davis and playing a key role on seminal fusion albums like 'In a Silent Way' and 'Bitches Brew,' Holland went on to become a leading figure in the avant-garde and post-bop movements. His quartet album 'Conference of the Birds' is a landmark of collective improvisation. As a leader, he is known for his sophisticated compositions and for leading ensembles that are both intellectually stimulating and deeply grooving.
