Chris Potter is for sure one of the most important saxophonists of his generation. With his endless inventive playing, world-class technique and beautiful sound he is a huge inspiration for some many young musicians. In 2021 he was voted Best Tenor Saxophonist of the Year in the Downbeat Readers Poll.
He made name in the bands of Dave Holland and Dave Douglas and has recorded more than fifteen albums as a band leader. Besides that he performed on more than 100 albums as a sideman, was nominated for numerous Grammy Awards (including one with Steely Dan) and shared the stage with legends like Herbie Hancock and Ray Brown.
‘A tenor saxophonist of sleek harmonic inquiry and superhuman technique’ (New York Times).
