I like it but don't love it.
I still haven't forgiven Holland for firing Billy Kilson.
Happy listening,

I wondered where he went. Harland is no slouch, so I'm not too brokenhearted.
This is not my favorite Holland album either, but it's still pretty strong stuff.

I read an interview with Kilson a few years back, in which he expressed surprise and disappointment that Holland made the move. I couldn't find that interview with a quick web search, but I did find an interview in which Holland talked about it from his perspective:
Diego Ortega Alonso - Tomajazz: How has the switch from Billy Kilson to Nate Smith affected the band?
Dave Holland: I think that Nate is a great drummer and he brings a lot of imagination to the music. Billy Kilson also was a great drummer you know, but there are times when a change has to happen for some reason, can be many reasons, and I have met Nate Smith about five or six years ago, at a college, where I was doing a short teaching and I heard him and I said ah, this is a great drummer, a great young drummer, and so some gigs Billy Kilson could not do and I asked, -“Nate, can you play?” And he –“ah, yeah, fantastic...”, so about nearly two years ago now he began working with the Quintet at full-time and of course with the Big Band.
Happy listening,
Jim

Could have been a million (mostly innocuous) reasons, but it sounds like there's no bad blood on Holland's part. All gigs come to an end...it is a certainty. No question that Kilson is a monster.
