Aziza is a studio album by English jazz bassist Dave Holland together with saxophonist Chris Potter, guitarist Lionel Loueke, and drummer Eric Harland.[6] The album was released on October 14, 2016 via Holland's own Dare2 Records label.[7]
Background
Dave Holland explained that the name Aziza has come from one of their songs, “Aziza Dance,” written by Lionel Loueke. In Loueke's birthplace of Benin, Africa, Aziza means a supernatural race of forest dwellers giving practical and spiritual advice.[8] The album features eight original compositions—two from each band member.[9]
