Overview

A very rare opportunity to experience a solo performance by one of the outstanding improvisers on the planet.

Dave Holland transcends expectations – his extraordinary virtuosity and the gorgeous sound that he draws from the acoustic bass is matched by sheer imagination and command of melody and groove that is by turns both lyrical and downright funky.

Since he was plucked from the stage of Ronnie Scott’s to join the seminal Miles Davis band of the late 1960s, Holland has been a major force in today’s jazz, whether with his cohorts from that time – Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette – in collaborations that stretch from Hank Jones to Sam Rivers – or, most significantly, as composer, bandleader, and inspirational teacher.
