David Holland: Life Cycle

“

LIFE CYCLE is bassist David Holland's solo cello album. He approaches the cello on its own terms, and his playing is all the more striking in that it is no mere adjunct to his bass artistry. The five-part title composition is a grand amalgam of folk, classical, and jazz musics. This blending is not surprising, given Holland's wide-ranging credits (he has played with artists as diverse as Anthony Braxton, Stan Getz, and John Hartford). The warm tones of Holland's bowed cello are close in register to the human voice. They fill these pieces with a resonant sense of the solitary man who created them. Holland only records with the cello occasionally, but he always does so with great passion. LIFE CYCLE is richly emotional and, at times, even spiritual. ~ cduniverse.com
