CHRIS POTTER QUARTET

In collaboration with VPRO Radio

Chris Potter alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, Kevin Hays-piano, Scott Colley-double bass, Bill Stewart-drums

It is recommended to make your reservations early because concerts of this quartet are mostly sold out. This is very understandable, with a rhythm section to die for and one of the most inventive and creative young tenor heroes of this time. ‘A stellar mainstreamer with his own brain, a taste for the edge and a really great sound’, is what Down Beat critic John Corbett wrote about him. DJ PHIL JAZZ LOST AND FOUND after the concert, ‘round midnightDance till late on hidden treasures & crazy grooves in vintage music.The last DJ Phil after party on the Oude Schans: jazz from all eras, rhythm & blues from the fifties, easy & pop tunes from the sixties, vintage disco funk and sweet soul from the seventies. The Bimhuis stage becomes the dance floor with a slide show of record covers on a big screen.
