Chris Potter Trio with Matt Brewer and Kendrick Scott

Saxophonist Chris Potter returns to LantarenVenster with a trio featuring double bassist Matt Brewer and drummer Kendrick Scott. The stripped-back line-up places Potter’s warm tone, technical command and constant inventiveness at the centre of the concert.

Potter has performed with the bands of Dave Holland and Dave Douglas and appears on more than 100 recordings as a sideman. His career has also brought him to the stage with Herbie Hancock, John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Joe Lovano and Steely Dan. As a bandleader, he has released 15 albums.

In this trio setting, Potter is joined by Matt Brewer, known for collaborations with Lee Konitz and Aaron Parks, and Kendrick Scott, a member of the Blue Note All-Stars. With no chordal instrument in the line-up, the musicians have plenty of room for open interplay, rhythmic movement and improvisation.

Potter describes Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins and Lester Young as important foundations for his own sound. Within that tradition, the trio continues to search for fresh ideas and, as Potter puts it, to make beautiful things.
