Title Note

Dave Holland Quintet: Dave Holland (bass); Steve Coleman (alto saxophone); Kenny Wheeler (trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn); Robin Eubanks (trombone); Marvin "Smitty" Smith (drums).

Engineers: Carlos Abrecht, Martin Weiland.

Recorded in Tonstudio Bauer, Ludwigsburg, Germany in February 1987.

This 1987 release furthers bassist and composer Dave Holland's quintet work. The personnel from his excellent SEEDS OF TIME album from two years prior is the same with the exception of a change in the trombone chair--Julian Priester has departed, replaced by Robin Eubanks.

The opening "Brother Ty" is as close to straight-ahead bop as this ensemble gets. This is followed by the gorgeous ballad "Vadana." The interlocked horns of Eubanks and trumpet/flugelhorn/cornet player Kenny Wheeler are harmonically evocative at every turn. Steve Coleman's alto saxophone flies around them, while Holland and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith create a foundation that's alternately playful and industrious. Wheeler contributes one composition (the ethereal "5 Four Six") and Coleman another two, keeping this album on a nicely collective footing. Beautifully recorded in warm and crisp detail.
