Hi Mike, Dave Holland has to be one of the top 3 bass players alive, along with Ron Carter. Once I went to see Kevin Eubanks backed up by Dave and the great drummer who currently plays with Dave: Marvin "Smitty" Smith. Kevin was detained by the Late Show so Dave and Marvin decided to IMPROVISE the entire 1st set just the 2 of them. Whoa, that was incredible. I believe you will hear those 2 cats along with Kevin's brother on trombone. Enjoy. Laurent
