Week 20:: Listen to Dave Holland!

Perhaps a bit overly emphatic, this week's edition is both a departure from, and also a return to, the founding principles of WSRP - playing music I think is good/important with the objective of introducing you to cool/interesting sounds.

Usually this would imply a potpourri approach, or occasionally I've done artist features where I try to dremonstrate the breadth of their catalogue.  This week is neither.  This is a focused listening to a few very specific and largely similar albums released by Dave Holland, a noted bassists, bandleader, and composer.  

Getting this focused seemed like the wrong idea - moving away from either a fuller contextual education, or a diverse listening.  Then it occurred to me that what I *really* want to do is just give you an hour's worth of good music, and there's frankly few better ways than to just 'lay on the Dave.'
