NYC: DAVE HOLLAND QUINTET AT BIRDLAND
The Dave Holland Quintet will be appearing at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080 ) Tuesday through Saturday, April 20th through 24th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. A highly accomplished master of tone and rhythm, the Grammy winning bassist, composer, and bandleader is now in his fifth decade as a performer and his music possesses a rich and kaleidoscopic history. His path has led him from the frontiers of free improvisation to his modern ensembles that fully embody the Sam Rivers-instilled philosophy of "playing all of it." The Wolverhampton, England, native got his big break from Miles Davis, with whom he played during the trumpet legend's epochal Bitches Brew period. Solo, and in collaboration, Holland became a dominant voice in the 1970s - partnering with Rivers, and working with folk and rock musicians such as Bonnie Raitt and John Hartford, and even had a passing encounter with Jimi Hendrix. He formed his first working quintet in 1983, and continued to develop other fruitful relationships with artists such as Anthony Braxton, Stan Getz, Cassandra Wilson, Jack DeJohnette, Chick Corea, Joe Henderson, Thelonious Monk, Betty Carter, Pat Metheny, Kenny Wheeler, Bill Frisell, Roy Haynes and Herbie Hancock over the course of his career. There is a $30-$40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
