Bass Is the Place: Dave Holland and the Jazz Bass
Gene Santoro, Chamber Music, December 2001
NOT FOR NOTHIN' (ECM) is bassist Dave Holland's latest CD, and the laconic title could sum up the man himself, his instrument's history, and the subtle weave of group identity he and his now-four-year-old quintet—saxist Chris Potter, trombonist Robin Eubanks, vibist Steve Nelson, drummer Billy Kilson—have wrought.
Total word count of piece: 1063
