Lots of great video of how Mr. Holland's Right Hand "works" - walking and/or soloing/playing the melody.

When he recorded that tune on Triplicate, you started hearing it around NY a lot, just like when Joe Henderson recorded Beatrice
I found it on this recording, done in '97.
I had never heard of Bill Carrothers before.

Such great playing, and Holland's been such a huge inspiration for years. Thanks for posting!
You're right, that is a nice view of Mr. Holland's right-hand technique. Watching it, his approach and variety of right-hand attacks remind me a lot of John Goldsby's technique. John also holds the bass pretty vertically and uses many different types of right-hand strikes very fluently. I think that the variety that they employ demonstrate that using different techniques affords them an efficiency and conservation of energy while adding depth to their tone.
I'm always amazed by how powerful a sound Dave Holland can pull when playing in that horizontal right hand position. What great, intense playing, as always, from him.
