Dave Holland

Day 91
#58 – Dave Holland (b.1946). English jazz double bassist, composer and bandleader. Albums include: Music from Two Basses (1971), Conference of the Birds (1972) and Razors Edge (1987).

Looking at the letters in his surname I noticed there were four ascenders and thought I could try using these to suggest the double bass strings. By using a light typeface, Avant Garde light, and extending the ascenders, it emphasised the string idea.
