Featuring:
Reid Anderson – double bass, Dave King – drums, Chris Potter – tenor saxophone, Craig Taborn – piano
For Reid Anderson, Dave King, Chris Potter and Craig Taborn, the music of Keith Jarrett’s American Quartet is more than just a source of inspiration – it is foundational. The quartet’s left an indelible mark not only on these four musicians but on an entire generation of jazz artists. With The Bad Plus, Chris Potter and Craig Taborn, these acclaimed artists – each with their own storied careers in contemporary jazz – revisit his formative repertoire with deep reverence and fresh vision. Anderson and King, whose work with The Bad Plus helped redefine modern jazz, combine with Potter’s commanding tenor saxophone and Taborn’s pianistic brilliance to create an ensemble highly attuned to this music’s melodic and rhythmic nuance. Together, they capture the raw, exploratory energy of the American Quartet while bringing their own distinct voices to the material.
