October 1 Dave Holland - 1946 Memories: Dave Holland was at the Göttingen Jazz Festival with Chris Potter, Jason Moran, and Eric Harland in November 7, 2009. After the soundcheck, he had a long chat backstage with Majid Bekkas. After the gig around midnight, he said goodbye, but his companions stayed until 4:00 a.m. and took part in the session in the theater cellar. The reason was Harland's birthday on November 8, and a highlight for us!
