There Is A Tide – Chris Potter

There Is A Tide by Chris Potter is a vibrant map of a year the world will never forget. Faced with the sudden halt of live music, Potter turned lockdown into a profound creative opportunity, recording every single instrument himself—from drums and bass to woodwinds and samples. The result is a work of rhythmic archaeology that captures the pulse of a society in flux, directly reflecting movements like Black Lives Matter in its soul.

This album is a testament to Potter’s musical integrity and his refusal to be boxed in. It is a reminder that jazz, even in isolation, remains a collective breath—an act of poetic justice that transforms the constraints of the present into a philosophy of tomorrow.
