WOW!.......2003-04-20

I ordered this item because of his rendition of the old Beatles's classic "If I Fell." I first heard it on a jazz station while in the car. For the first time in my life, a song was so beautiful that it moved me to tears. I obtained the name of the artist from the radio station and ordered it. "If I Fell" had the same effect on me again! :) And the rest of the CD is just as beautiful. What a find! He has a new fan...even if i have no idea what he is singing about! I HIGHLY recommend it.

Points of View....................2002-10-04

I've owned this CD for about 2 years now and find it a rare treasure in the Bossa Nova genre. This entire CD is light and airy and leaves you feeling refreshed if not entirely relaxed. I've always been a big fan of the Bossa Nova genre and Nando Lauria's CD does it justice! Nando Lauria is a true master on the acoutic quitar and his vocals are outstanding! I'd say if you've got the cash, get the CD. You won't be disappointed.

Magic Hidden Treasury........2002-04-13

Just like a beautiful jewel hidden at the bottom of a sea full of jazz records, Points of View is something precious, unique and relaxing.

We NEED More of This Kind of Fresh Artistry.......2001-12-20

Being a musician myself, I have followed the likes of Pat Metheny (a very nice guy too!), for decades. When Nando Lauria performed with Metheny, a new feel was created. In addition to this work, and Novo Brasil, as well as his other Narada works, you HAVE to hear Lauria on the the Narada Christmas Collection doing Gloria. The harmonies are incredible and will give you chills. Too bad its the groups like N'SYNC and Brittney Spears that get all the hype. Sheesh.

Tis the season... cheers!

Relaxing Acoustic/Brazillian Jazz.......2001-07-24

This CD isn't going to be for everybody, but if you are into a more acoustic/relaxed feel and like the variety of the island tempos, check Nando out. He's a fine, fleet fingered guitarist with a great touch, and hey, any album with some work with ex-Pat Metheny drummer Danny Gottlieb and Lyle Mays is worth looking into in my book. Fans of Pat Metheny, especially his older work, should absolutely check Nando out, although of course Nandos guitar work is much different.

The persuasive melodies and dark harmonies on bassist Dave Holland's Points of View further affirm his position as one of the most inventive jazz composers since his ascendance in the late 1960s. On this date, Holland leads a stunning quintet comprised of vibraphonist Steve Nelson, trombonist Robin Eubanks, saxophonist Steve Wilson, and drummer Billy Kilson. The strong communal empathy and suspenseful improvisational zeal enliven the gorgeous set of originals. The quintet successfully forges an enticing tension as it layers brooding passages on top of fiery Latin-tinged grooves. The startling timbres created by Holland, Eubanks, and Wilson suggest a heavy European classical influence, especially on Wilson's melancholy "The Benevolent One," and Holland's haunting "Bedouin Trail." They also hint at funk with the rhythmically daring "Metamorphos," as the horn section darts spiky lines against Nelson's wonderful vibraphone solo, as well as giving hints of Latin-influenced R&B with the enchanting "Serenade." Points of View is yet another dynamic album by the superb Holland. Highly recommended. --John Murph

With This Holland Quintet, Discoveries Never End.......2002-05-29

Dave Holland's music began to creep into my consciousness around the time, a few decades back, when I began exploring the music of Oregon and then Manfred Eicher's ECM. Holland's presence has loomed larger for me as the years, passed, but this Quintet album (along with Prime Directive and Not for Nothin') have pulled Holland to the center of my musical attention. This album is magificent! Dave Holland is not only a great and inventive bass man, but is also -- even more remarkably -- an exceptional catalyst as leader, and has time and again brought together musicians who perform at their very best -- nowhere more compellingly than on this endlessly fascinating album.

The frequent pairing of Robin Eubanks (trombone) and Steve Wilson (soprano and alto sax) is probably, for me, the ultimate highlight of this album. The harmonies and counterpoints of their lines in particularare fresh and compelling throughout. Eubanks' trombone plays a more impishly rhythmic role -- more fundamental in highlighting complex rhythms here -- than I have genrally thought trombone could be. For jazz, a vibraphone fan, with Gary Burton (see Burton and Holland's et al. much and deservedly acclaimed "Like Minds") as my very favorite player in Jazz; here Steve Nelson -- while no Burton -- delights throughout, adding a lovely cool resonance to this peerless quintet. I am surprised I have heard so little else of him, and hope to hear more.

Of course Holland and Billy Kilson are the primary rhythm makers -- the "boiler room of jazz":, as Denver's late Dick Gibson often wisely said. This rhythm section has no piano, and suffers not a whit without it. This ain't no simple "boiler room." But it powerfully undergirds each of these wonderful cuts. The latin influenced rhythms are complex and precisely played by all. But is these two who create the underlying structure that allows Eubanks to add such exceptional rhythmic accents.

Points of View has been #1 on my CD player for months now; I listen to it currently more than any of the many, varied CDs in my library. If you know this sort of music, you will love this (and probably already have it). If you are unfamiliar with the ECM sound -- a label whose recordings are consistently clear as a bell, sparsely and precisely presented, flawlessly recorded, somewhat abstract "chamber jazz" [some might say "new jazz" or "new music"] -- this is a stunner to cut your teeth on. No reservations on ,this one!

Right to the Point.......2001-05-24

The Dave Holland Quintet hits the mark with "Points of View". The music in this album is a metaphor for the city - from dark and moody - to hectic and frantic - to light and energetic. The quintet is very tight with great performances all around. The combination of trombone, sax, vibraphone, drums and bass make this a unique and exciting sound alternative to other cosmopolitan jazz albums with more standard rhythm sections. The solos and ensemble playing are very progressive, with chord changes often moving at a furious pace. The conversations between instruments shows a serious understanding of the music being performed - a delight to any fellow musician.

This album is of the highest quality of musical performances. A worthy investment for the jazz fan.

Dave Holland Quintet original, inspirational.......2000-08-11

I was hired to play for someone, and one of the tunes they were going to play was one of the tunes from this album, so I went out and picked it up just to see what this quintet was all about. Weel, aren't I glad that I did that! This band is so original, from the arrangements right up to the instrumentation. To have vibes as the only chordal instrument sounds absolutely wonderful. Sax-Trombone-Vibes-Bass-Drums is not something that you see everyday. Ever tune on this album says something new and different, something that can't be said for a lot of other musician. Definately a must-have.

A fine jazz album but it is not "Extensions".......1999-08-30

This is an exciting Jazz album and a refreshing alternative to the neo-conservative retro-bop fare that is out there today. However, it does not rate five stars because Holland's "Extensions" goes it one star better. Buy it and enjoy. I did!

From My Point of View - 'Spot On'.......1999-03-31

Having taken a gamble in purchasing this cd, my first by Dave Holland, I found the experience thoroughly enjoyable. My type of jazz. If, according to the previous review, the prior release is better then I'll certainly be tempted to delve deeper. Dynamic, tight, ..... and refreshing after purchasing other recently released, and frankly ... uninspired jazz. Cheers!

Can't Stop Listening .......2004-11-13

I saw Harry at a jam session one day and he gave me a "pre-release" cassett tape of a session he had just finished for Justice Records. I've always liked Harry's playing, but I was surprised by what I heard. The recording was all fusion but everything I had heard him play in person was either straight ahead or avant-garde. I immediately decided that this was something I had to have when it came out.

That cassett he gave me was "Points of View" and it's simply fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of "fusion" stuff because so much of it is dummied down - you know - lowest common denominator stuff.

A friend of mine says that, to make a fusion CD, you make the recording and then cut all of the best, hippest stuff out of it. He jokingly says that they sometimes have to stop the recording because what he played was just simply TOO GOOD for a fusion CD. That gives you a general idea of what real jazz musicians think about fusion.

But none of that applies to "Points of View". With a lineup of top notch players including Steve Masakowski and Marvin "Smitty" Smith, this is a fusion recording that any real jazz musician would be proud to own. The CD is dripping with all things that are hip in jazz. Great tunes. Great lines. Great music. It's the kind of recording you can't stop listening to. I've listened to it at least a few hundred times myself in the past decade since it was released.

This is a spectacular collection of Latin songs by a vibes player who has got a spectacular Latin feel for a guy from Roslyn.

I am an award winning songwriter and I've just released my first CD as an artist.....ONE HEART.

I hear them as spiritual songs, embracing people of many backgrounds and points of view. I am grateful that I'm able to release this album at this time in the world, when current events are calling each of us to bring forth our very best.

JD Martin's One Heart album lifts the heart of the listener with beautiful songs of universal connection. Martin has been writing songs for other artists for 20 years and now presents this must-hear collection of his original songs, sung straight from his heart with his gorgeous mellow voice, soothing the soul and healing the spirit. "We are all a part of one heart" presents a profound truth with impeccable musicianship and moving lyrics--truly inspiring! I became immediately addicted and listened to "One Heart" over and over.
