Multi-reedman/composer Chris Potter is often cited by critics, musicians, and a steadily increasing number of fans as the finest saxophonist of his generation. Chris' musical influences come from many and varied sources . . . "being influenced by classical, world music, funk, rock, rap, country, whatever...digesting new ideas, new influences to keep the freshness alive."

An unabashedly rhythmic player, Chris' most recent CD Traveling Mercies, his second for Verve, is a groove-oriented date that makes no sacrifices or compromises in the quest for musical integrity and communication with his audience.

"I want people to dance if they can, to feel the music and not think of it as something complicated and forbidding. I want to be communicating something. You can do that and not sacrifice anything artistically."
