Dave Holland Trio, Kevin Eubanks, Eric Harland, Chris Potter at Kuumbwa Jazz Center

Bassist Dave Holland's amazing career spans five decades of cutting-edge jazz.

One of his recordings from the early '70s, Conference of the Birds—featuring Sam Rivers, Anthony Braxton and Barry Altschul—is still considered an important milestone in improvisational music.

Potter's imaginative saxophone soloing is a welcome addition to an already high level of musical interplay and exploration....
