by Dan Bilawsky
In the minds of some musicians and fans, music is meant to be an athletic competition where speed and strength trump everything else, but a large segment of audiences and performers don't buy into that line of thinking. Others believe that music can be a vehicle for expressing emotions and dealing in the art of communication, ...
Lisa Hilton: Underground

Chris Potter: Underground
by Martin Gladu
Evidently, rhythm is at the core center of this contemporary and urban-sounding album.

In fact, one cannot not mention Potter's producing and A&R work--it firmly positions this album as jazz/fusion album of the year (if one can overlook ...

Though a strong rhythmic undercurrent flows through the majority of the record, it offers much more.One of the most promising tenor saxophonists of his generation, Potter ...
Chris Potter: Underground

Anyone who's been floored in the last few years by a particular live or recorded performance by Chris Potter--whether he was fronting his own group or playing, say, with Dave Holland or Dave Douglas--may raise an eyebrow at this statement, but here it comes anyway.He's gotten even better.If you weren't at the ...
