Dave Holland Octet and Big Band perform at 8 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Michigan Theater. Whether fronting a quintet, a big band, a trio or an octet, Holland is a band leader and bassist who covers the spectrum of jazz. One of the most widely respected jazz bass players and improvisers, he opened his career in Miles Davis’s fusion band of the late 1960s and has produced adventurous music since. This return appearance after his 2002 debut features both the octet and big band, which won the 2006 Grammy for Best Large Jazz Ensemble. Sponsored by the University Musical Society, 764-2538.
