The Shedd Institute welcomes Grammy-nominated jazz tenor saxophonist Chris Potter and his new trio touring in support if his 2019 album release, Circuits. A world-class soloist, accomplished composer, and formidable bandleader, Grammy Award nominated saxophonist Chris Potter has emerged as a leading light of his generation. Potter’s music showcases limitless creativity and a vibrant sense of swing, prompting critics, musicians, and fans alike to cite him as the one of the finest saxophonists today. The New Yorker calls Potter, “A tenorist who can remind you of Joe Henderson at his craftiest, he employs his considerable technique in the service of music rather than spectacle.” With an album release in 2019, Potter unveils his new trio, featuring James Francies on piano and Eric Harland on drums
