Biography
The Dave Holland Quintet's music is a mixture of progressive-minded post-bop and avant-garde jazz, with asymmetrical rhythms, creative harmonies, emphasis on group improvisation, and extended forms, to create some of the most well-respected music in postmodern jazz (in no small part because of the inspiring feat of their continued balancing act between being both accessible and edgy). The first incarnation of the Dave Holland Quintet was born in 1983 on the album, Jumpin' In.
