  ANTI- News - The press is buzzing over Jolie Holland's new album!
To her credit, Holland is looking for something even more mercurial in her songwriting and cover performances: the American parlor -- or living room in the era before television when the radio was its centerpiece: it was the terrain where many voices, experiences, and stories from near or ghostly far came to life.
Holland is not a country singer — that's simply one of her many modes — and just as often she summons the voices of Ma Rainey and Billie Holiday.
Holland is rooted in the folk troubadour singer-songwriter tradition, but her music bleeds into blues, jazz, and soul.

 Ground and Sky review - Dave Holland Quartet - Conference Of The Birds
Holland takes full advantage of the talent in front of him and opts to lay low on this session, arranging his compositions to play to the strengths of his two leads.
Holland would spend most of the rest of the 1970s playing in Anthony Braxton's band (most of these albums are excellent and well worth looking for) and wouldn't record under his own name as a bandleader again until the mid-1980s.
Thus, Conference of the Birds — along with Holland's album of bass duets with Barre Phillips (Music From Two Basses) — is a very valuable early album by one of the greatest jazz musicians to emerge from the post-bop era.

 HOLLAND - THE BEACH BOYS
Concentrating on their widely recognized obsession - technological advance - they took off for Holland where the surf's NEVER up and went through some half a million dollars settling in and arranging for nearly four tons of flying studio, a prototype for the future, to be brought from America.
Two speaker systems were especially made for Holland, incorporating a concept he'd been working on for five years.
In their six-month emigration to Holland to realize an album project, the Beach Boys have demonstrated both a broadened insight into being and a good grip on the purpose for contradiction.

 Jools Holland Meets Rock 'A' Boogie Billy - Jools Holland - Music Reviews
According to the liner notes, this album was "recorded in the back room of Holland's home (which accounts for the authentic sound)," and while one can argue about the authenticity of a boogie woogie record that features multi-tracking and the occasional synthesizer, it's impossible to deny that this album positively swings from start to finish.
And while Holland is in impressive form here, dementedly zipping through piano runs like a South London Jerry Lee Lewis and singing in a voice that more than makes up for in showmanship what it lacks in polish, his real secret weapon is Squeeze drummer Gilson Lavis.
Holland would go on to make records with much bigger budgets than this one, and records that were much more polished, but the ragged-but-right Jools Holland Meets Rock 'A' Boogie Billy is still the homemade marvel that represents modern-day boogie woogie king Jools Holland at his absolute best.

 What Goes Around - Dave Holland - Song Listings
The word "expanded" is key here, for what Holland has mostly done on What Goes Around is send his quintet format through an expansion process, where there are more pieces in the puzzle, yet the same overall conception of sound remains.
All of the charts are composed with a sureness and a grounding in tradition that belies the fact that this is Holland's first big band album.
For example, in "What Goes Around" -- which appeared on Holland's previous album, Not For Nothin' -- the ostinato-driven horizontal structure is basically the same, allowing for some fills by the ensemble, and despite the additional harmonic content, the vertical texture is similar, too.

Holland’s songs rise and fall like heavy eyelids while sounds from past and present-tense waltz together to a never-ending melody that flickers between folk, jazz, blues and pop.
Holland admits its the first time she wrote songs specifically for an album and a band, saying, “I even wrote myself out of a few songs, so I could work solely as a singer.” To achieve Springtime’s lush sound in the studio, Holland and band recorded live to tape for much of the album.
When asked about the song-cycle aspect of the album, Holland says that she doesn’t want to beat people over the head with the concept of the album, saying “if you really listen, you will hear the threads of the song-cycle; crazy dreams, moonshine, mockingbirds...springtime can kill you.

 Willem Breuker : In Holland - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Simply put, this is the finest album ever released by the Willem Breuker Kollektief as a jazz tentet (as opposed to the repertory ensemble they later became).
In Holland contains the most creative orchestrations, and the most thrilling solo work by the Kollektief, and ranks among the best jazz albums of the '80s.
Though the group lost quite a bit of freshness after the mid-'80s, In Holland qualifies as an extraordinary record by one of the most creative and enjoyable jazz ensembles to have emerged from Europe.

This debut album from Amy Holland came out in 1980, and as anyone reading this is probably at least vaguely aware of, Holland went on to marry Michael McDonald in 1983.
Her future husband is all over this album, as is Patrick Henderson with whom McDonald had previously collaborated with--they produced the album together, and they also play on every track, alternating between acoustic and electric piano.
Holland co-wrote one song with the catchy "Don't Kid Yourself", and there's one Michael McDonald solo composition with the marvelous "Show Me The Way Home", an uncanny groove tune that's relaxed, yet funky, and loaded with McDonald's trademark syncopation.

 Escondida - Jolie Holland - Buy @ SmokeCDs.com music cd store   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
On the back her "demos" based debut 'Catalpa', plus success with former band The Be Good Tanyas, Texan-born Jolie Holland has quietly been making waves in the "discerning" pop world with her refreshing blend of folk, pop, jazz and blues (and some comparisons to jazz legend Billie Holiday).
Actually with the likes of Norah Jones steering jazz in a more "roots" based direction, Holland and her unique songs (she describes them as "spooky American fairytales) could be well on the way to big big things.
This is a compelling and highly original album, less lo-fi than her excellent debut, but still full of inventive ideas and a pleasing rustic style, 'Escondida' is simply quite exceptional.

Because its a live album there is a great atmosphere, and it gives Jools a chance to deliver a few typically pithy lines when introducing the songs or the musicians.
This album was the first Jools Holland album I ever listened to, and having listened to all of the others, still the best.
There's a good variety of songs on this album, and although they have now been mostly replaced in the live act, they are priceless gems from Jools' repertoire.

 Springtime Can Kill You, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
On the predecessor Escondida, Holland flitted from genre to genre with ease, but Springtime is a full-on recombinant exercise that never sounds forced.
Best of all, Holland demonstrates more control than ever over her voice; it floats and then dive-bombs like a hummingbird, and may bring to mind Memphis Minnie, Karen Dalton, Mirah and Billie Holiday, depending on the song.
But the real through-line of Springtime is the warmth that pervades the music; it's no surprise that Holland and her group recorded live to tape for much of the album, in front of an audience of friends.
