Extensions (Dave Holland album)

Extensions is an album by the Dave Holland Quartet, recorded in September 1989 and released on ECM the following year—Holland's eight album for the label. The quartet features Holland Quintet saxophonist Steve Coleman and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith alongside guitarist Kevin Eubanks, in his first appearance on a Holland record.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick called the album a "tight and enjoyable quartet date," writing, "One of his better albums from this period, Extensions should please any Holland fan, and is an agreeable and non-threatening jumping in point for the curious." Extensions was voted Album of the Year (1989) by DownBeat.
