	Amazon.ca: Conference of the Birds: Music: Dave Holland Quartet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In the early '70s, bassist Dave Holland and drummer Barry Altschul had a well-deserved reputation as the most fluently creative rhythm section in free jazz.
		It was Holland's inspiration to pair the two in this 1972 quartet, when Rivers and Braxton represented two distinct generations of the avant-garde, the former generating explosive, driven tenor lines filled with honks and cries and the latter creating oblique postmodern solos on a variety of reeds.
		Holland is an awesome bass player as well as a creative composer.

		DAVE HOLLAND: I grew up in the Midlands area of England around the Birmingham area and when I was four years old, my uncle, who was living in the same house that I was living in, had as a hobby, playing the ukulele.
		DAVE HOLLAND: You know, Fred, this music is one that prides itself on its individuality and one of the things that is the mark of a fine musician is the ability of recognize their sound and their own approach.
		DAVE HOLLAND: One of the great aspects of improvised music is the collective aspect of it, the communion of it, the sharing of the creative thought as it is happening and the development of it together.

	Guardian \| Dave Holland, Extended Play - Live at Birdland
		Holland has drawn his own special blueprint (initially influenced by Charles Mingus's explorations of group texture and interplay) for an elegant jazz machine that balances composition with individual and ensemble improvising - a process he has been exploring for 20 years.
		Holland's quintets can overlay and intertwine melodies so densely that their cerebral qualities can stifle their underlying earthiness at times, but little of that happens here, and the gems you keep discovering in the nooks and crannies of the music make you gasp.
		Holland's penetratingly urgent bass sound, its empathy with Eubanks's luxurious trombone and the one-touch certainty with which all the members pass the melody around is breathtakingly highlighted on the contrapuntal theme development of Prime Directive.

	Revamped Dave Holland Quintet shows it belongs in best class - The Boston Globe
		Dave Holland's stellar quintet of recent years is undergoing a bit of renovation.
		Another Holland piece, "Last Minute Man," followed, which featured a splendid alto solo by Hart that began slow and soulful and gradually was built to a fierce climax, and Nelson coming next on marimba.
		Holland, besides being arguably the best bassist in jazz the past three decades or so, is also among the music's top arrangers and composers.

		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 is also part of the all-star collective jazz quartet ScoLoHoFo (with guitarist John Scofield, saxophonist Joe Lovano and drummer Al Foster), whose debut CD "Oh!" was released in January.
		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 music has always had a positive quality that's been untouched by the darker cathartic extremes of some modern jazz.
		Holland's latest line-up conveys his uplifting vision with particular power and singleness of purpose.

	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.

	* Dusted Reviews - Andrew Hill / Dave Holland *
		All of a sudden, the Dave Holland Quintet, a sleek band that seasoned its athletic post-bop with odd-time funk and Latin grooves, became synonymous with contemporary mainstream jazz.
		Holland's charts, full of off-beat accents and shifts in rhythmic feel, can be dizzying, but you can bet that whenever it's time for someone to blow, the leader is going to be trancing out in the pocket with drummer Billy Kilson.
		Holland digs into the bossa like a squatter and doesn't budge (even through Kilson's drum solo) for most of the track's 17+ minutes.

	Dave Holland
		But in the case of extraordinary bassist, composer and cellist Dave Holland, all three of those elements have fully blossomed into one of the most acclaimed and accomplished legacies in contemporary jazz.
		Holland is also the soloist in classical composer Mark Turnage's Bass Inventions (a concerto for double bass and orchestra) which premiered at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in May 2001, and will tour with the project in February 2002.
		Not For Nothin', the new release by the Dave Holland Quintet continues the special relationship with ECM that has gone on for nearly 30 years, beginning with the influential and still progressive Conference of the Birds in 1972, Dave's first as leader and featuring Rivers, Braxton and Altschul.

	Dave Holland Q in Manhattan KansasReview Spring 2002
		I had the good fortune to catch Holland's quintet when the band played at Hastings College in October 2000 (a concert later reviewed in Jazz), and I was not about to miss a second opportunity to hear one of the all-time great progressive jazz outfits.
		Another Holland hallmark is the leader's democratic spirit, the bassist equally sharing the composing and soloing duties with his comrades.
		That was evident from the start of the Manhattan show, which kicked off with drummer Billy Kilson's "Billows of Rhythm." Kilson is simply one of the great drummers of jazz history, drawing on influences ranging from funk to hip-hop to bebop and synthesizing them in his own unique palette of rhythmic colors.

		While rumours abounded at Kilson's departure from the Dave Holland camp, what appears to be close to the truth is the simple fact that Billy was stretching himself rather thin, touring with other projects.

		In the middle of these compelling individuals stood the band’s leader, bassist Dave Holland, exuding the gravitas that comes from more than 30 years of sensational musicianship, and the warmth that comes from knowing that he is playing with perhaps the finest group of his life.
		In the Dave Holland Quintet, each musician is a soloist, a contributor to the collective sound, and a musical companion of at least one other member.
