Hands is a 2010 album by English jazz double bassist Dave Holland and Spanish flamenco guitarist Pepe Habichuela. The unlikely pairing was arranged by Manuel Ignacio Ferrand Augustin, the director of musical events for the Cultural Department of Andalusia. The first meeting took place in 2007, with four days of rehearsals, followed by three concerts.[1] The group was expanded in May 2008 and recorded Hands in March 2009, and released on Holland's own label Dare2. Eight of the ten tracks on the album were written by Pepe Habichuela based on the flamenco tradition, while Holland contributes two originals.[2]

Shepherd Express noted, "The cool undertow of Holland’s acoustic bass lends a slight pull of restraint to the fiery Habichuela, helping cast the collection of quietly emotive instrumentals in the emotional key of determined melancholy."[10]
