The One
This is a great album recorded before Chris Potter was the free and experemental artist he has developed into. This recording demonstrates his developmental roots before both feet were firmly plandted in the experimental waters. I think Chris Potter produces the single best solo available on eMu in his rendition of In A Sentimental Mood. Oh it is just a beautiful thing. It takes you there but not quite then again, always on the edge of climax but never letting the cresendo arrive. Like a master stud making love to a beautiful woman, he has her (the song) under his complete control and she is his to do what he will with her. His sidemen are no slouches either. It is hard to make giant leaps without the support of your fellow players, most notable Kenny Werner on piano. I wish there were more like this.
