Dave Holland

All That Jazz (9 music items)

" I'm not completely sold on free jazz. Some compositions can either be described as an incoherent mass of impenetrable noise, or a pleasant trainwreck of wildly dissonant notes. I find Dave to land in the latter territory. One also gets the feeling of clarity and order when listening to him even if he throws the rule book out the window. There's plenty of things played unconventionally or 'out of tune,' with asymmetrical time signatures all over the place but done in service to his philosophy."
