5 out of 5 stars Pure Magic.......2002-05-13

This is one of my all time favorite recordings. Dave Holland pulled off a seemingly impossible feat; complex, daring music, played by a lone upright bass player, that keeps you interested and entertained for the whole show. Most people will remember suffering through boring, show-offy bass solos at concerts of any kind. Well, Dave Holland does it for 45 minutes with spectacular results.

3 out of 5 stars Base Solo Bass.......2000-08-21

Dave Holland is one of the great modern jazz bass players. As a contributor to Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew," Chick Corea's early 70s trio and group Circle, and Joe Lovano's recent "Trio Fascination," he has been a part of some jazz's all-time best albums. Even a few of his own recordings, the magnificent "Conference for the Birds" and his two duet albums with Sam Rivers, are easily among the best avant-garde jazz recordings in history. Unfortunately, "Emerald Tears" does not match these other efforts. It is a tribute to Holland from his label ECM that they would even give him the opportunity to make a recording of solo bass music. And while some of the tracks create a deep, rich texture and evocative mood, the album overall is rather thin and redundant.
