The series continues Sunday, June 30, with another all-star band, the Chris Potter Trio, featuring Potter on tenor sax, Matt Brewer on bass, and Kendrick Scott on drums.

A world-class soloist, accomplished composer, and formidable bandleader, Grammy-nominated Potter has emerged as a leading light of his generation. His music showcases limitless creativity and a vibrant sense of swing. The New Yorker referred to Potter as “a tenorist who can remind you of Joe Henderson at his craftiest,” adding, “He employs his considerable technique in the service of music rather than spectacle.” DownBeat called him “one of the most studied (and copied) saxophonists on the planet,” and JazzTimes identified him as “a figure of international renown.” He has performed or recorded with many of the leading names in jazz, and his latest of 15 albums, Eagle’s Point, features him in a collaborative band that includes Brad Mehldau, John Patitucci, and Brian Blade.

The concerts will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. There are no physical tickets for these events. Your name will be on an attendee list at the front door. Doors open at 7 p.m. Seating is first-come; first-served. These events will be presented in compliance with State of California and County of San Diego health regulations as applicable at the time of each concert.
