Dave Holland Quartet 2009-05-09 Liège, Belgium Dave Holland : Bass Nate Smith : Drums Steve Nelson : Vibraphone, marimba, percussion Chris Potter : Tenor Sax How's Never Tripple Dance Veil Of Tears Shadow Dance
WOW...what a great concert, especially Veil of Tears! This is a return to the quality I heard on the Dream of the Elders tour w/ Eric Persson on alto & soprano sax and Gene Jackson on drums. Chris Potter has certainly matured into a superb talent, and Nate Smith is now one of my new favorite drummers! Masters of their Craft.
yeaaa u can hear and feel whats he just tryiing to express with his progretion, it has too mani tensions , can u hear ? its like inner figth and those thensions keep raising during his solo , more and more dark
This is wonderful. A great concert. I had the privilege of meeting Dave Holland when he did a master class at the Univ. of Maryland a few years back. A true artist, gentleman, and down to earth guy -- and the show was incredible.
13:11 this level of creativity is unreachable... He can play in a completly non tonal way starting from a semi tone tone like scale and just make sens with absolutly everything who came across his head and fingers. No matter what he play, either phrasing, or melodic system, or harmonic path or all of them together will just carry a very fluid expression and idea. When you slow it down and observ, it's like a maze full of changing forms, but so fast and massiv and absolutly mindfull. And of course all of that improvised, no intellectual crafting in real time because it would be already too late. How.
What a great journey for this musician who does not hesitate to approach all areas of musical creation! A world of notes, sounds, colors, poetry, cultures and encounters 🤠
I bet that Holland is on hundreds of recordings with a who’s who of great musicians. He is always interesting in his solos and lays a great foundation for others to build on.
Around 06', I found myself standing next to Dave at his gig at The Jazz Bakery in LA. I asked him if Stan Getz's quartet w/ Gary Burton on vibes ( 60's) inspired his use of vibes instead of piano or guitar. He just smiled & said his inspiration was Steve Nelson's playing; nothing more than that. I felt silly for asking such a question.
You gotta love Holland's tone ! I appreciate that Mr. Holland hasn't gone for that all wood thumpy no sustain tone that some young purists seem to be after .
I hope we, as humans, have the fore-thought to pre-arrange parking for Chris Potter's spaceship, when his people return to collect him.... AND are understanding when we collectively beg to keep him.
***** ive beeen jamming to this tune forever i love it. It gets natural after a while, but i hear it now and im like confused how i heard the extra 16th.. potter is a beast in general.. ive seen this song live. My favourite band is meshuggah so polymetrics are my love :D
Drum mix is killer! Long live Nate Smith!
Dave Holland = perfection. Absolute perfection. My hero!
Chris is KILLIN' IT!! Nate's in the ZONE! The vibe man is on FIRE!

The sound quality of these concerts recorded in Europe are so good.
This Nate Smith cat is an absolute killer!
So tasty I think I burned myself
That lil boy on the vibes ain’t half dope as well
he's cool
Wonderful, wonderful bassist. A treasure.
Dave is such a nice man, I know him because he's friends with my parents.
Potter's line at 7:44 is one of the most expressive moments I have ever heard in a solo. And the whole concert is amazing.
yeaaa u can hear and feel whats he just tryiing to express with his progretion, it has too mani tensions , can u hear ? its like inner figth and those thensions keep raising during his solo , more and more dark
That entire solo was incredible. I can't believe he blew that right at the beginning like that!
Potter is such a beast!!!😮😊

Merci pour ce rappel musical 🇧🇪 5:04
Wow that drum solo, the continuity of ideas alone. Great musician. I 2 like the snare. Dave is the sole man on coussikbass
Potter's solo on How's Never is soooo cool. Used to play this tune with my old band, it was so nice playing this...

Peace through music. Something transcendent about this quartet....off the hook....too cool. peace

As good as progressive music gets. There are few better than this group. Awesome.
i can't say what i feel, if i hear a double bass like this!! what a wonderful world!!

alexsh, thank you for this excellent sharing. Thanks.
bass,drums,vibes,and sax...yeah!
Love that upright bass tone....
MASTER !!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU DAVE !!!!!
John Coltrane aurait eu un immense plaisir d'écouter, de savourer le expressivité de Chris Potter, à voir son trio à Porquerolles..
Agree 😊
Woooo shadow dance was fire, you don't hear Nate Smith play too much of that dbl time swing in his stuff rn, so cool.
Absolutely fantastic

Excellent players....excellent music...
handsome grooves - yes indeed!
As with almost everything Dave Holland is doing, I like this.
The vibraphone is not my cup of coffee but it fits well inhere.
Thanks for sharing !
Love what this guy did on electric bass too - with Miles Davis
Puffff! Que tremenda junta! Solos o juntos, magia pura.
You gotta love Holland's tone ! I appreciate that Mr. Holland hasn't gone for that all wood thumpy no sustain tone that some young purists seem to be after .
Ive noticed he switches up basses depending on the ensemble since I have seen him use the full sized.
@@scotty6124 well I think you’ve cracked the case there bud, u’ve carefully deduced he uses different basses
That cutaway bass at the bottom is beautiful , as is its player .
Nate Smith est cool
Absolutely brilliant stuff! Nate Smith is pure fire...
Great sounding kick drum.
Nate always gets the very best out of his drums.
7:15 - 7:45 - thanks Mr. Potter for creating this remarkable passage in this already legendary solo.
So great!

MUITO BOM!
Nate vs Dave holy shit!
+Žarko Жарко Asenov ов I was thinking the same thing you were thinking! ( ^ _ ^ )
Nate !!!
Dave Holland is like Buddha. He's found enlightenment in music, and everything is ok.
Genial !
I hope we, as humans, have the fore-thought to pre-arrange parking for Chris Potter's spaceship, when his people return to collect him.... AND are understanding when we collectively beg to keep him.
MUITO FERA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave still at it lol!!!

Deep Love Sounds!
no words
Exactly! Maybe his sax was broken, and couldn't get one in time for the gig?
Nate Smith is THE THING
great!!
Naaaaateeeeee!,...gooooood!
I don't understand what's up with the strangely shaped bass. Sounds great though and everyone else is good here. Thanks.
Can anyone tell me about the double bass pick up or equalization in this concert?
That snare sounds amazing! I guess that is a dw maple snare, but i'm not sure.
Jesus, what a band! Amazing. This is like slalom at warp speed.
Buenísimo
It's ridiculous some comments criticized Potter. Man, I expect that they play way better than Potter.
In their minds they probable do. lol
Jalousy ! is the reason why !
Potter is a beast, it's indisputable. Great composer too
I wish I could play like Potter. Brilliant!
I wish I could play like Jorge😮😮😊@@JorgeOstos
Superbo
Fair enough!
13:10 Triple Dance
How do I become this....
Wahnsinn!!!
Nate Smith
Nate Louis es mejor 😮😮😊
With all the busy schedules these guys have, it's not surprising that he probably couldn't make it that day.
Стопроцентное ощущение полёта!
Ils envoient du bois!
Where is Robin Eubanks?
SUPER FERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's wrong with Potter's playing? He is one of the best sax men around imo? This band is amazing!
