	Dave Holland (drummer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1979 Dave finally made a tough decision to leave Trapeze and join Judas Priest, a British metal band who were quickly gaining in popularity, while Trapeze was unable to achieve considerable commercial success after Glenn Hughes left in 1973.
		The codefendant, another student of Holland's, was cleared of all charges while David Holland was found guilty of attempted rape and several indecent assaults and sentenced to 8 years in prison.
		Holland's coming out led to speculation about the reasons why such an allegedly unfit drummer was able to survive such a long stint with Judas Priest whose singer Rob Halford is known to be homosexual.

	deseretnews.com \| Dave Holland — front and center
		Holland is modest about his achievements, but one would have to go back to Charles Mingus, who died in 1979, to find a bassist making a comparable impact on the jazz scene of his day as a player, bandleader, composer and arranger.
		Holland admits he felt "a little overwhelmed" to arrive in the United States during the tumultuous summer of 1968 and join what many consider to be one of the all-time great jazz ensembles with saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Herbie Hancock and drummer Tony Williams.
		Holland's live CD includes an extended version of his tune "Prime Directive" — a funky, celebratory group jam that also was the title track of a 2000 quintet album.

		Formed in 1997, the Dave Holland Quintet is coming off of an incredibly successful year, one in which their latest album, Not for Nothin, was voted jazz album of the year in the 67th annual Down Beat reader's poll.
		In an age when the focus is frequently on a superstar bandleader and sidemen are often ignored, Holland's band is an anomaly; it insists on being a group in the traditional sense, where all members serve equally important roles.

		As simple as that moment was, it reflected Holland's ambitious goal of presenting a steady working band that can execute as soloists and in ensemble with improvisational edginess and studied precision.
		Holland and troupe book-ended the set with songs from "Dreams of Elders" (ECM), one of last year's finest recordings, choosing to emphasize new material that's softer around the edges than much of his work as a leader over the last 20 years.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Dave Holland Big Band: What Goes Around
		His exemplary work as both soloist and sideman notwithstanding, it is his slew of recordings as a leader of his own small groups (the Dave Holland Trio, Quartet, and Quintet) that have made him stand out.
		The secret to this may lie in the fact that the core of the Dave Holland Big Band are the members of his regular group, the Dave Holland Quintet -- saxophonist Chris Potter, trombonist Robin Eubanks, vibraphonist Steve Nelson and drummer Billy Kilson.
		Dave Holland has presented a group of steadfastly modern original tunes in a big band context -- and the band still swings hard.

	Jelly review: Dave Holland
		Bassist Dave Holland was born in Wolverhampton, England in 1946 and took up the ukulele at the age of four.
		Holland is now among the most dynamic bass players in jazz, and in these two recordings he provides a unique perspective on his enormous talent.
		In a trio, Holland supplies the band’s stability as well as its depth; as a soloist, he finds a way to make music come alive from four fat strings.

	BBC - Jazz Review - Dave Holland, What Goes Around
		There are already quite a few milestone albums in Dave Holland's ECM recording career; Conference of the Birds, his stunning debut as a leader, Jumpin In, which introduced his first quintet, and Points of View, the first album from his current quintet, are just the most obvious ones.
		The big band builds on the nucleus provided by Holland's current quintet, keeping the rhythm section of Holland, drummer Billy Kilson and vibist Steve Nelson, and adding three trumpets, two more trombones and three more saxes to the quintet's existing frontline of Chris Potter on alto and Robin Eubanks on trombone.
		Dave Holland has put together stellar talent on this date but the album suffers from overplaying and cliches from some of the soloists.
