Dave Holland headlines the 20th Annual Purdue Jazz Festival with his celebrated quintet of jazz all stars, featuring vibraphonist Steve Nelson, tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, trombonist Robin Eubanks, and drummer Nate Smith.

Don Seybold, jazz expert and former Associate Director of Convocations, will discuss how Dave Holland’s choices in group configuration, instrumentation, and composing practices are a prototype for postmodern jazz practice at 7 PM before the show.
