This exceptional date by Dave Holland Big Band was recorded in 2002 in New York, yet remained unreleased until 2005. As is to be expected, Holland assembled a fine cast of seasoned and young players, some of whom are veterans of Holland's quintets and quartets. These are four saxophones -- two alto, tenor and baritone -- three trumpets and trombones, and vibes as well as bass and drums. They include Chris Potter and Robin and Duane Eubanks, Antonio Hart, Steve Nelson, Josh Roseman, Billy Kilson, Taylor Haskins, Gary Smulyan, Jonathan Arons and Alex Sipiagin. The music centers around the opening four-part "Monterey Suite," a tour de force commissioned by the Monterey Jazz Festival and originally performed there in 2001. Holland's writing for the trombone section is dynamite. Roseman, Arons, and Robin Eubanks offer up solid bottom rung lines and tight timing as anchors for the rest of the brass though they often charge out front. Potter once more displays his talents as not only a fine soloist but as an excellent ensemble player, carrying the chair with authority and verve. The beautiful "Ario" hosts some really knotty and swelling harmonic interludes and the closer, "Last Minute Man," is electrifying, transcending the confines of the studio. This is an essential Holland date, it is exciting, colorful and wildly innovative. Let's hope he composes and records more in this idiom soon. ~ Thom Jurek

Down Beat (p.63) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Not since Charles Mingus has there been a big band with a sound as profoundly determined by the idiosyncrasies of its bass-playing leader."
JazzTimes (pp.69-70) - "To a surprising degree, Holland's arrangements retain for his big band the meticulous clarity and the lightning reflexes of his small group." Dave Holland Overtime Songs Overtime Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Best working big band today
The Dave Holland big band has to be the best working big band in jazz today. With stellar players of the highest-improvisational order, Holland continues to serve up inspired and righteous jazz music with 'Overtime.' If you love fun, playful and freewheeling sonic disorder that never fails to uplift even the most morose of souls, get this latest gem from Holland and his cohorts in the language that needs no words.

Very well done. Great Band with excellent soloists & room for the soloists to perform. Charts are interesting & have a lot of depth. One of my "new" favorites. Everything that you would expect from Dave Holland.

As a Dave Holland fan I find it difficult to understand how he can be so prolific in his composing and arranging. But with his core group as a basis to work with, I guess anything is possible. His previous Big Band CD "What Goes Around" was Terrific, this CD "Overtime" is absolutely outstanding

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 0 of 2 found this helpful. Excellent contrabution to jazz
This album features all original charts, composed and arranged by Dave Holland himself, except for Mental Images, which we owe to trombonist Robin Eubanks. Complex rhythms and grooves are played by a tight, very talented big band. Dave Holland supports the screaming horns with his double bass. The soloists take the band along with them on a great journey of highs and lows. And as the album cover sugests, there are times that appear to be total chaos, but upon close examination one finds a complex order. The riffs are catchy, and the brass blend together beautifully. Smooth phrasing, and tight hits occur on every track. I highly recommend this to any jazz/big band musician or fan.
