Dave Holland Talks About His Early Influences During an NEC Master Class

In this New England Conservatory master class, Jazz bassist and NEC Visiting Artist-In-Residence Dave Holland talks about the early influence of Ray Brown and learning from records during his youth.

Holland was a full-time member of the NEC faculty from 1987 to 1990 and was awarded an honorary degree in 2003. As Visiting Artist-in-Residence, he conducts two NEC residencies each year, one in the fall semester and one in the spring.
