DAVE HOLLAND: Prism
Dare2, 2013
MODERN JAZZ – Virtuoso bassist Dave Holland debuts a new group, a bold electric quartet that’s centered in fusion, digs into bluesy jams like some kind of all-star bar band, then spikes straight-up modern jazz with stark moments of free improvisation. Each member of the band is a veteran leader and all contribute equally to the group’s thick sound and wide-ranging repertoire, giving it a broad, collective atmosphere.
All worth a listen. Fo’s Picks: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8
1. 6:59 – rocking fusion jam: guitar, keys make it sound gritty & grimy
2. 8:36 – lowdown bluesy ballad: sweet guitar and bass solos, gets nasty late
3. 8:46 – hypermodern: bold starts, quiet disintegrations, crunchy middle
4. 4:50 – spirited, upbeat: happy drumbeat and grooving guitar/piano
5. 7:29 – dark steady creep: guitar & bass tiptoe melodically
6. 7:53 – rolling uptempo: simpatico guitar/drums, spiky piano, bass solo
7. 9:23 – steady march thru odd chord progressions: guitar really opens it up, piano solo is like a broken machine
8. 10:27 – slinky guitar-led chillout keeps threatening to bust out into uptempo rock, finally does it, but then settles into a little percussive groove
9. 5:42 – wide open, hushed ballad: gentle piano solo first 2 mins.
