HR Big Band cond. & arr. by Jim McNeely

Jazz Saxophonist Chris Potter has played & recorded with Dave Douglas, Dave Holland, Pat Metheny, Jack DeJohnette, Brian Blade and many others. This great recording of Chris Potter & The HR Big Band should be a part of every Jazz fans collection (I know I say that a lot but this is some great stuff and if you haven't heard Chris play this is a great place to start JD). There will definitely be more to come from Chris in the future.
