Description

A Modern-Day Supergroup of Supergroups on Double LP!
Featuring Brad Mehldau, John Patitucci & Brian Blade!
Pressed on Marbled Blue Vinyl!

TAS Rated 4.5/5 Music, 4.5/5 Sonics in the July/August 2024 Issue of The Absolute Sound!

Tracking Angle Rated 9/10 Music, 10/10 Sound!

Featuring a modern day supergroup of supergroups including Brad Mehldau, John Patitucci and Brian Blade, Chris Potter's Eagle's Point promises to be an electrifying testament to modern jazz, uniting four unparalleled luminaries within the genre, performing eight original compositions written by Chris especially for the recording session. The planets finally aligned; despite never having the time to perform together, this supergroup seized the opportunity in late 2022 and assembled to record this landmark album.

Each musician, a dominant force in their own right, contributes to every track with humility and mutual respect. The musicianship is nothing short of exceptional, with everyone bringing something different to the table; Brad Mehldau's virtuosic performances on the piano dance and have an unmatched eloquence, John Patitucci's bass lines weave intricate tapestries, and Brian Blade's percussive finesse lays the rhythmic foundation for this dream team.

Chris' new compositions showcase his exceptional skill as a writer, crafting melodies which augment and reflect the talents of those in the group. In this setting, Potter's musical narratives flourish, marked by moments of virtuosic interplay, infectious grooves, and those quintessential Potter-esque melodies. Each track reverberates with their collective genius, a confluence of unparalleled talent, virtuosic brilliance, and artistic expression of the highest calibre.

The most technically gifted and authoritative tenor sax voice since Michael Brecker joins longtime comrades Brad Mehldau on piano, John Patitucci on bass, and Brian Blade on drums to form a modern-day super group on Eagle's Point, Potter's 25th album as a leader. Given their history together, going back to the 90s, their chemistry is evident through all eight tracks. A superb outing.
-Bill Milkowski, The Absolute Sound, July/August 2024, Music 4.5/5, Sonics 4.5/5

Pretty stunning—warm, sharp, fine detail, wide dynamics, 3D imaging, plenty of air.
