Description

LP – Limited Edition Marbled Black Colour Vinyl.

Two musical giants, guitarist Lionel Loueke (Herbie Hancock) and bassist Dave Holland (Miles Davis, Chick Corea), unite their individual talents into one harmonious recording, igniting creativity, honouring cultural roots, and showcasing music’s powerful role in fostering unity amidst societal division. United is an inspiring testament to the power of collaboration, blending Loueke’s masterful guitar work with Holland’s deep, resonant bass.

Both musicians have profoundly impacted the global jazz sceneLoueke, known for his innovative fusion of West African traditions with modern jazz, has played with a whos who of virtuosic and celebrated artists, most notably serving as Herbie Hancocks guitarist for over 15 years, and collaborating with legends like Wayne Shorter, Sting, Terence Blanchard, Marcus Miller, and Esperanza Spalding.
Holland, one of the most influential bassists and composers in jazz, has shaped contemporary jazz since the late 1960s, performing with icons like Miles Davis, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, Sam Rivers, and Jack DeJohnette.
Though Loueke and Holland have worked together many times in various groups, this album marks their first collaboration as a duo. The result is nothing short of extraordinary.

It was one of those rare moments where everything just clicked. Lionel and I were playing around, and suddenly, it wasnt just soundit was something bigger. I turned to him and said, We have to do this. – Dave Holland
