Bill Holmanis one of the most amazing talents of this era. His music is natural; hetolerates no force or hostility in his jazz. One of the composers of modern daylinear writing, he has already affected the necessary change in the growth oforchestrated jazz. Holmans dry wit is one of his most entertaining attributes.His music, though technically serious, is a mirror of his happy philosophyattimes even humorous. He enjoys a unanimous affection from all in jazz, bothmusically and personally, said Stan Kenton.

According toHolman: Melodically, I try to write human, singable lines with natural curves,sometimes trying for an improvised feel... Rhythmically, I use a lot ofsyncopation and off-beat accents in the ensembles as a band seems to be able toget together easier on off beats than on on beats.
