riss_art Great compositions, great solos and the usual Chris Potter's shuffling of instruments is all I need to forget my problems! Favorite track: Aria for Anna.

Chris Potter announces the upcoming release of his new album, ‘Eagle’s Point’. Featuring a modern day supergroup of supergroups including Brad Mehldau, John Patitucci and Brian Blade, the new record will be released on Edition Records in Spring 2024. ‘Eagle’s Point’ promises to be an electrifying testament to modern jazz, uniting four unparalleled luminaries within the genre, performing eight original compositions written by Chris especially for the recording session. The planets finally aligned; despite never having the time to perform together, this supergroup seized the opportunity in late 2022 and assembled to record this landmark album.

Each musician, a dominant force in their own right, contributes to every track with humility and mutual respect. The musicianship is nothing short of exceptional, with everyone bringing something different to the table; Brad Mehldau’s virtuosic performances on the piano dance and have an unmatched eloquence, John Patitucci’s bass lines weave intricate tapestries, and Brian Blade’s percussive finesse lays the rhythmic foundation for this dream team.

Chris’ new compositions showcase his exceptional skill as a writer, crafting melodies which augment and reflect the talents of those in the group. In this setting, Potter’s musical narratives flourish, marked by moments of virtuosic interplay, infectious grooves, and those quintessential Potter-esque melodies. Each track reverberates with their collective genius, a confluence of unparalleled talent, virtuosic brilliance, and artistic expression of the highest calibre.
