Do you know Dave Holland?

He's one of the best bass soloists in jazz and played with John McLaughlin, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Anthony Braxton, and Sam Rivers before he started his own performing ensemble which is usually a quintet.

I've just found a video on DailyMotion of bassist Dave Holland leading his quintet and the NDR Big Band in a performance of his tune "What Goes Around". This is from the 2003 Jazz Baltica Festival in Salzau, Germany.

It starts with Holland executing a highly dramatic bass solo. When they reach the main channel of the performance, trombonist Robin Eubanks and tenor saxophonist Chris Potter set off fireworks as they solo in tandem.
