Well, I said it in my last post and Chris has gone and proven me right. These new videos are of his Underground band and Chris playing his new gold lacquer Selmer Mark VI. You can see his previous horn, a silver Selmer Balanced Action model in the video just under this one. I should also note he is using a new ligature, an Olegature. This first one, “The Wheel” is in 15/8 and no one in the band ever bats an eyelash. Try counting it! The last tune, The Single Petal of a Rose, is Chris playing like I have never heard him play before. What a beautiful, lyrical player he is. I really think Chris Potter is well on his way to becoming one of the most important figures in all of jazz. He is, in my opinion, a true genius.
