“I think music needs to be of its time & speak to that time. I think that what is important is that the music be honest & direct & that it is relevant to today.” – Dave Holland, an English jazz double bassist, composer, and bandleader. Holland has been performing and recording for five decades, and has lived in the United States for over forty years.
