From the bio of saxophonist Chris Potter:
“My aesthetic is based in Bird and Lester Young and Sonny [Rollins]. I want my music to have that emotional impact. What I learned from them in terms of phrasing, sound, approach to rhythm will never be outdated. I would like to basically use the same aesthetic sensibility with more contemporary harmonic and rhythmic concepts, being influenced by classical, world music, funk, rock, rap, country, whatever...digesting new ideas, new influences to keep the freshness alive.”
Chris Potter has generously made available recordings of his music online. To listen,

I created a dance track using my synthesizer. It's called
First Dance (click here to listen).
Today, on the anniversary of the tragic September 11th attacks, I created a
new track, called "Pop Interlude". It expresses sadness and quiet reflection.
