DAVE HOLLAND

DAVE HOLLAND PRISM 

Amid endless choices, the sound of a Dave Holland bass line compels attention. A master of tone and rhythm, the 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 own superb modern ensembles via the finishing school of Miles Davis with whom he played during the trumpet legend's epochal Bitches Brew period. His Prism project features the ingenious keyboardist Craig Taborn, former SFJAZZ Collective drummer Eric Harland and Kevin Eubanks, a brilliant guitarist and former collaborator who is resurfacing after a 15-year run leading The Tonight Show band. Combining the celebrated virtuosity of Taborn on electric and acoustic pianos and the soulful scorch of Eubanks in the front line with Harland's matchless finesse and expressiveness, this decidedly plugged-in quartet is an explosive outlet for Holland at his unbridled best.

Very Limited Availability for late Saturday 10.30pm show, and Sunday evening 6.30pm 

Thur 7th - Sat 9th November
