by Mike Jacobs
March 23, 2024

This under-an-hour doc from 2009 is not only a satisfying snapshot of one of Chris Potter's most durable and exciting lineups but is also an insightful piece on band dynamics, material development and performance ethos in jazz.

December 29, 2023

Continuing Saga of the Strong Seeker I remember distinctly during the 2007 Montreal Jazz Festival, sifting through and measuring up the usual blur of stimuli, seeking out the prizes among prizes in the program. In one corner, there was Wayne Shorter, in the finest of his performance I'd ever heard—playing up his suits as composer and ...
