Although for the last few years, saxophonist and clarinetist Chris Potter has often traveled off the beaten path in terms of orchestration (from the very electric, groovy stylings of 2019’s Circuits, to the experimentations in chamber music on Imaginary Cities in 2015), there’s no denying that it’s in the traditional format of an acoustic quartet with piano that the musician best demonstrates his improvisational talents. Discovered in the mid-90’s alongside legendary drummer Paul Motian, going on to partner with some of the greatest creators in contemporary jazz music (from Dave Holland to Pat Metheny and Steve Swallow), Potter, present on a phenomenal number of albums as a sideman and with over twenty records to date under his own name, comes out on top as one of the greatest saxophone players of his generation. Leading an exceptional ensemble of all-stars, Chris Potter reunites with pianist Brad Mehldau, previously featured on Moving In (1996), and collaborates seamlessly with drummer Brian Blade and bassist John Patitucci, both former partners in Wayne Shorter's quartet. Potter delivers the quintessence of his lyrical style with admirably controlled energy, resulting in an extraordinary, organic, and cohesive rhythm.
With a repertoire of eight original compositions offering a wide array of textures and atmospheres which make space for a great deal of individual expression without ever neglecting the group’s collective message, the ensemble develops a kind of modern jazz that is both melodic and of great harmonic sophistication. The music combines constant emotional engagement with an admirable sense of restraint. Nothing is ostentatious or spectacular about this music, solidly anchored in tradition, of an extraordinary intelligence and sensibility, bringing to life in the most moving way a musical philosophy that is top-notch. © Stéphane Ollivier/Qobuz
