Dave Holland Releases “Uncharted Territories”
Jazz bassist Dave Holland has returned with a new album with a very appropriate title. Uncharted Territories is an exploratory album that reunites the band leader with longtime friend and saxophonist Evan Parker. Pianist Craig Taborn and percussionist Ches Smith round out the album.
“In addition to quartet improvisations, they also broke off into every possible subset of duo and trio configurations,” the album’s liner notes read. “The group also recorded two compositions by Smith and one by Holland. The resulting 23 tracks present a series of deep, multi-layered conversations between the musicians, some of whom were interacting for the first time.”
Check out the opening track “Thought On Earth”:
Uncharted Territories is available now on CD, vinyl and as a digital download (iTunes and Amazon MP3).
