This concert gem stars the Dave Holland Quintet (featuring Dave Holland, Kenny Wheeler, Robin Eubanks, Steve Coleman, Marvin "Smitty" Smith) at the peak of their musical maturity: merging passion and logic, spontaneity and group interplay with sparkling clarity. Each musician works as a cog in the delightful engine of swing, relating his phasing to the supple beats laid down by Holland and Smith. Without a piano, without a "standards" song repertoire, and with poise and effortless concentration, the Quintet creates palpable musical shapes using innovative themes and variations. A improvisational Free Jazz masterpiece, for all the concert"s unique inventiveness, they project an utter melodic mellowness on their tunes: Vortex 1, Vortex 2, Homecoming and Wiguts Waits for Weights.Bassist Dave Holland"s legacy is still being written, but his distinguished career has already earned him a prominent place in Jazz history. His inventive, thoughtful, and original sound has not only earned him numerous accolades and resounding applause around the world, but left an indelible mark in the evolution of music.
