Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The persuasive melodies and dark harmonies on bassist Dave Holland's Points of View further affirm his position as one of the most inventive jazz composers since his ascendance in the late 1960s. On this date, Holland leads a stunning quintet comprised of vibraphonist Steve Nelson, trombonist Robin Eubanks, saxophonist Steve Wilson, and drummer Billy Kilson. The strong communal empathy and suspenseful improvisational zeal enliven the gorgeous set of originals. The quintet successfully forges an enticing tension as it layers brooding passages on top of fiery Latin-tinged grooves. The startling timbres created by Holland, Eubanks, and Wilson suggest a heavy European classical influence, especially on Wilson's melancholy "The Benevolent One," and Holland's haunting "Bedouin Trail." They also hint at funk with the rhythmically daring "Metamorphos," as the horn section darts spiky lines against Nelson's wonderful vibraphone solo, as well as giving hints of Latin-influenced R&B with the enchanting "Serenade." Points of View is yet another dynamic album by the superb Holland. Highly recommended. --John Murph

            Album Description

            I am an award winning songwriter and I've just released my first CD as an artist.....ONE HEART. In the twenty years I have been writing for other artists, the songs on this album have felt like "mine." They speak of my sense of connection with all of creation in a variety of voices. I hear them as spiritual songs, embracing people of many backgrounds and points of view. I am grateful that I'm able to release this album at this time in the world, when current events are calling each of us to bring forth our very best.

              Album Description

              SIDE STEPS produces a melodic, dexterous and refined post-fusion, which is nevertheless not show off at all. Following in this KENSO or BRAND X, their technicity is used to create real themes as well as rich and polished combinations (Keyboards & guitar). The instrumental Progressive jazz-rock performed by this band, both complex and sophisticated, puts a lot of emphasis on the beautiful melodies and the refined arrangements. The accessible part of this musicians' music is sometimes close to that of SPYRO GYRA, while their energy can remind of Allan HOLDSWORTH or UZEB. After an excellent "Out-&-Out" issued in 1997, the Japanese musicians tell us to follow them on stage with "Alive". As for "Points Of View", it is an excellent production from 2001.
