JAZZ ORCHESTRA OF THE CONCERTGEBOUW CHRIS POTTER

led by Henk Meutgeert

With his authoritative playing and his endless inventiveness Chris Potter is praised as one of the best saxophonists of his generation. Potter made a name for himself in the bands of Dave Holland and Dave Douglas. After Lee Konitz and James Carter the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw adds another great American saxophone player to its impressive list of guest musicians. ‘His work is remarkably free of clichés and default licks…daring yet precise, with clean edges and unexpected implications…he is something special.’ (Downbeat).
