Program
Sonny Rollins at the Village Vanguard, Ornette Coleman at the Golden Circle. Two essential album recordings in an extremely dense musical tradition: the pianoless saxophone trio, made up of a saxophone, double bass and drums. Chris Potter has decided to introduce a heavenly rhythm section (apologies if the description sounds over the top, we assure you it’s not) to this trio: bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Eric Harland. As the saxophonist explains, the pianoless trio is a challenge to overcome, but also a release from any restrictions whatsoever. Established and original material (jazz and otherwise) shape a repertoire that each night begins with the prospect of adventure. Potter, Rogers and Harland, high-impact trio.
