Guitariast Jackson Potter leads a piano-less quintet through a very thoughtful and accessible menu, both originals and some you know and love. Potter's tone on guitar is warm and sensitive on the ballads and vigorous and creative on up-tempo material. Potter's colleagues, all admirably supportive, include Alex Ridout, trumpet and flugelhorn; Troy Roberts, tenor sax; Hamish Smith, bass; and Marcello Cardillo, drums. FYI, the standards here include “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”, “Everything I Love”, and Dave Brubeck's “The Duke”. The original compositions are mostly lively entries. Every one of them demonstrates the depth of talent and the joy of making meaningful music by Jackson Potter and friends.
