Description
Widely regarded as one of the defining voices in modern jazz, Dave Holland announces Freedom Call, the first box set collection of his distinguished career. Scheduled for release in October 2026 on Edition Records to coincide with his 80th birthday, the six-LP and three-CD collection brings together previously unreleased live recordings from three defining ensembles in Holland's career - Sextet, Quintet and Prism - captured live and presented together for the first time.
Freedom Call captures the collaborative spirit and creative ambition that have defined Dave Holland's work for more than five decades. These live performances bring together some of the most accomplished improvisers of their generation - including Chris Potter, Craig Taborn, Mulgrew Miller, Eric Harland and Nate Smith - revealing ensembles built on trust, deep listening and a shared musical language forged over years of collaboration.
Freedom Call stands as a document of artistic continuity and creative growth. Across these recordings, listeners hear a bandleader committed to developing long-term musical relationships and creating environments where individual voices contribute to a shared identity. The result is a collection that celebrates Dave Holland's work as a composer, bassist and bandleader, alongside the enduring power of collective improvisation.
Box Set Summary:
The Freedom Call collection includes 3 projects: Sextet, Quintet and Prism. Each project is a Double Gatefold album with its own sub-title as below:
Sextet: Unity
Dave Holland - bass
Antonio Hart - alto sax
Alex Sipiagin - trumpet + Flugelhorn
Robin Eubanks - trombone
Mulgrew Miller - piano
Eric Harland - drums
