Beschreibung:

Imaginary Cities is the recording premiere of saxophonist Chris Potter's new Underground Orchestra. At the core of this larger ensemble is the personnel of his long-established Underground quartet - with Adam Rogers, Craig Taborn and Nate Smith - now joined by two bassists, a string quartet, and Potter's old comrade from Dave Holland Quintet days, vibes and marimba man Steve Nelson. The title composition is a suite, panoramic in it's reach, with movements subtitled "Compassion", "Dualities", "Disintegration" and "Rebuilding". The scope of the work, and it's contrasting moods and thematic development, inspire some of Potter's finest playing. His saxes fly high above his idealized cityscapes or launch into dialogues or group improvising with it's gifted inhabitants. Four further pieces - "Lament", "Firefly", "Sky" and "Shadow Self" - extend the feeling of the suite, successfully combining both tightly written material and very open areas involving all members of the orchestra. References are multi-idiomatic and multicultural, and Potter, who counts Charlie Parker with Strings amongst his formative enthusiasms, had Arabic and Indian string sections in mind, as well as contemporary composition, when shaping this material. Imaginary Cities was recorded in December 2013 in New York's Avatar Studio and produced by Manfred Eicher. Release of the album is followed by US performances with the Underground Orchestra in New York and more., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Bass Guitar: Fima Ephron, Cello: Dave Eggar, Design: Sascha Kleis, Double Bass: Scott Colley, Drums: Nate Smith (3), Engineer [Assistant (Recording)]: Tim Marchiafava, Engineer [Recording]: James Farber, Guitar [Guitars]: Adam Rogers (2), Mixed By: Chris Potter (2), Mixed By: James Farber, Mixed By: Manfred Eicher, Music By: Chris Potter (2), Photography By [Cover Photo]: Morten Delbæk, Photography By [Liner Photos]: Bart Babinski, Piano: Craig Taborn, Producer: Manfred Eicher, Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Bass Clarinet: Chris Potter (2), Vibraphone, Marimba: Steve Nelson, Viola: Lois Martin, Violin: Joyce Hammann, Violin: Mark Feldman, Labelcode 4704075 (ECM 2387, 470 4075), Phonographic Copyright (p) ECM Records GmbH, Copyright (c) ECM Records GmbH, Made By EDC, Germany, Recorded At Avatar Studios
