About
World-renowned saxophonist Chris Potter releases a brand new recording of music live from the legendary New York venue: the Village Vanguard. Capturing moments from Chris’ annual residency (recorded 2022), the new album features an all-star band comprising Craig Taborn, Scott Colley and Marcus Gilmore. Reimagined folk tunes (Nozani Na, Olha Maria), powerful spirituals (Got the Keys to the Kingdom) and uncommon jazz standards (Blood Count, Klactoveedsedstene) make the final cut from the multi-night residency. Expect high energy, intensity, technical brilliance, effervescent joy and a snapshot of one of the world’s greatest saxophonists in his element.

Presto Recordings of the YearFinalist 2023
March 2023
These tracks, assembled from Potter's 2022 performances there in an A-list ensemble including pianist Craig Taborn, confirm just how eagerly he embraces the chance to cut loose on a more or less straightahead jazz programme in ideal company and this time, he's intentionally picked materials that haven't been sapped by over-exposure.
