It’s so ridiculously cool that one of the best saxophone players in our generation is debuting his new music 10 minutes from home!! Chris Potter is a force of nature
www.sfjazz.orgChris Potter: GenerationsA monster saxophonist, Potter is one of the premiere improvisers of recent decades and a ubiquitous influence among younger players. This season, Potter unveils another ambitious work: Generations, scored for chamber orchestra and a small jazz ensemble. Once again, the band features some of New York’s finest: Taborn, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Brian Blade.
Potter describes the new evening-length work as “a meditation on human connections over time, and the idea of continuity and change from generation to generation.”
