Share in Musical Creation with the Overtone Quartet
By: Marie Gullard

When four committed jazzmen gather under the name the Overtone Quartet, sparks of musical experience and expertise, as well as innovation bordering on genius, will light up the hall of the Kay Theatre on the campus of the University of Maryland on Sunday night.

Grammy Award-winning bassist Dave Holland, who left England in 1968, performs now alongside a select group of three acclaimed jazz veterans, all masters of their instruments, band leaders and composers in their own right.

Jason Moran has been described in the Los Angeles Times as “a startlingly gifted pianist with a relentless thirst for experimentation.” Grammy Award-nominated saxophonist Chris Potter has been cited by critics and fans as the finest saxophone player of his generation. Finally, the much-in-demand drummer Eric Harland has recorded more than 30 albums and toured extensively.
