Dave Holland, solo
Dave Holland, solo
Far more than one of the jazz’s greatest bassists, Dave Holland has inhabited the music’s adventurous edge ever since Miles Davis hired him to anchor his band in 1968 as it rapidly morphed from an acoustic powerhouse to a pioneering fusion combo. After spending years exploring the outer reaches with Anthony Braxton and Sam Rivers, the British-born bassist started leading his own ensembles, which have served as a proving ground for a legion of celebrated improvisers. His SFJAZZ Center residency offers a chance to experience Holland in an array of settings, both alone and with a dauntingly talented cast of collaborators.
The run begins with a very rare solo program showcasing the unparalleled heights of Holland’s bass mastery, recalling his iconic ECM release Emerald Tears. This intimate encounter offers a precious insight into the creative process of a true jazz giant, and will be an evening of superlative beauty.

SFJAZZ Center, Miner Auditorium
The Robert N. Miner Auditorium is the centerpiece of the SFJAZZ Center, named for the late SFJAZZ supporter and Oracle Corporation founder. Designed specifically for jazz, the auditorium is a dynamic, state-of-the-art concert space that can be adjusted from 350 to 700 seats. This scalable structure allows the hall to accommodate performances of all sizes and configurations, while maintaining a close-up, intimate feel emphasizing the connection between artist and audience. The steeply raked theater seating surrounds the stage on all sides, offering superb sightlines from all points in the auditorium, and assures that even the furthest seats in the balcony aren’t far from the action on stage. In keeping with the kinetic, transparent nature of the Center, the Miner Auditorium incorporates considerable natural light and from a certain vantage point, pedestrians on the street can clearly see the stage through a purpose-built opening in the concrete enclosure. The hall has been conceived to seamlessly present multi-media programming utilizing integrated video screens and cutting edge projection systems, and is optimized for High definition video production, web casting and audio recording.
