| Sunnyside Records to Partner with Dave Holland & Dare2 Productions Sunnyside Records is pleased to announce a partnership with bassist Dave Holland to release his future recordings in the United States, under his new label imprint, Dare2 Productions. Universal Music Jazz France will distribute these recordings outside of the United States. This partnership marks a new chapter in Holland’s recording career and serves as both an honor and a challenge to Sunnyside Records, an independent jazz record label that, during the past twenty years, has released albums by Fred Hersch, Jerry Gonzalez, Luciana Souza, Kirk Lightsey, Steve Nelson, Kenny Barron, and Chris Potter among others. There are few jazz artists that are as beloved by critics and fans alike as Dave Holland. In the 2004 DownBeat Magazine Readers Poll issue Mr. Holland won 5 awards: Best Jazz Artist, Best Jazz Album (Extended Play: Live at Birdland), Best Acoustic Group (Dave Holland Quintet), Best Big Band (Dave Holland Big Band), and the award for Best Acoustic Bass Player. He also won several awards in this year’s DownBeat Critics Poll, including Artist of Year for the second time. The first album that will be released by Sunnyside/Dare2 is a new big band recording available in early 2005, the follow-up to the Grammy award winning big band release, What Goes Around. write your comments about the article :: © 2004 Jazz News :: home page |
