CHRIS POTTER’S UNDERGROUND

With his wall-to-wall sound, relentless swing and boundless creativity, Chris Potter (1971) is one the best saxophonists of his generation. Besides being a member of groups led by Dave Holland and Dave Douglas he has built up an impressive solo career. His latest group is called Underground, with guitarist Adam Rogers, double bassist Scott Colley and killer drummer Nate Smith. ‘His work is remarkably free of clichés and default licks…daring yet precise, with clean edges and unexpected implications…he is something special.’ (DownBeat).
