American jazz musician and composer
Musical artist
Chris Potter (born January 1, 1971) is an American jazz saxophonist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist.
Potter first came to prominence as a sideman with trumpeter Red Rodney (1992–1993), before extended stints with drummer Paul Motian (1994–2009), bassist Dave Holland (1999–2007), trumpeter Dave Douglas (1998–2003) and session work, while also maintaining an active solo career.[1]
Biography
[ edit ]
Potter was born in Chicago, Illinois, but his family moved to Columbia, South Carolina , where he spent his formative years. Potter showed an early interest in a wide variety of different music and learned several instruments, including the guitar and piano. He realized after hearing Paul Desmond that the saxophone would be the vehicle that would best allow him to express himself musically.[1] Jazz Times as saying that, "Music has always been a vehicle for me to investigate the things that are important about life. It's been a way of figuring out what it is I need to say. Plus, I keep learning new things about it."[2]
He took up the alto saxophone at age 10, playing his first jazz gig at 13. He developed a devoted local following while performing with Johnny Helms and Terry Rosen . After leaving Columbia upon his graduation from Dreher High School , Potter attended college in New York City, first at The New School and later at the Manhattan School of Music . In New York he began performing with Red Rodney . He is currently based in New York City.
