Overtime is an album by the Dave Holland Big Band that won the Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album in 2005. Recorded in 2002, the music centers on the four-movement "Monterey Suite", a piece commissioned by the Monterey Jazz Festival. The big band on this record is on the small side, at thirteen members. The rhythm section consists of vibraphone, bass, and drums, continuing the format established over many Dave Holland Quintet records. This is the first album to appear on Holland's label, Dare2, and the last of his releases to feature drummer Billy Kilson.
