Basses Loaded: Dave Holland
Dave Holland has been a significant player for over fifty years, with his late-1960s stint with trumpeter Miles Davis as an early highpoint. Since the early 1970s, he has recorded on hundreds of albums, played with dozens of top ranked players, and issued almost 50 albums as a leader. Holland delves into free-jazz as well as the mainstream.

Bill Evans 60 Years Ago
Craig gives us a delightful look at some of the wondrous music that piano legend Bill Evans was involved with in 1959. We’ll hear Evans as a leader in his own groups, as well as with jazz greats such as John Coltrane, Lee Konitz, Miles Davis, Warne Marsh, John Lewis, Bob Brookmeyer, and others. Jazz at its best!

Washington, Cedar Falls, Marion, Iowa City High, and Iowa City West took the stage before our headliners. These groups formed on their own and feature some of the amazing young talent in our schools. For this week’s Wednesday Night Special, we feature the sets of all three groups – Cheesecake Experiment, Clowntooth, and The Corridor Quintet.
