Bassist Dave Holland formed this supergroup in 2009 and it has generated enthusiastic response since its debut.

Holland and his colleagues – pianist/composer Jason Moran, saxophonist Chris Potter and drummer Eric Harland – are all acclaimed jazz veterans and each brings a distinct personality to the mix.

Holland utilizes the full spectrum of the jazz tradition, which includes playing the blues and improvising freely. Potter is known for his limitless creativity and a vibrant sense of swing. Genre-bending pianist Jason Moran draws on opera, classical and world music, and even rap in his improvisations. Drummer Harland melds an insistent and wide-ranging style with a keen sense of the interaction between the audience and the band.

Together, the four challenge each other to new musical heights – a supergroup in which the sum and its parts are equally great.
