A perennial DownBeat Critics Poll winner, Holland this year duplicates his momentous achievement of 2002 when he became the first person in the magazine's history to win four awards in one year. In the 2004 Poll, he scores top honors for Jazz Artist, Acoustic Bassist, Acoustic Group (Dave Holland Quintet), Best Big Band, and Jazz Album (Extended Play: Live At Birdland on ECM) of the year. Holland also won a Grammy for the 2003 Big Band release What Goes Around on ECM records. A new Big Band release is slated for this fall.
