Chris Potter Performs with the Airmen of Note

It doesn't get much more high-powered than this! This closing number from the first concert of the Airmen of Note's 2020 Jazz Heritage Series nearly blew the roof off of the concert hall. Enormous thanks to the artistic wizardry of special guest Chris Potter! Please enjoy his composition, "Exclamation," arranged by Master Sgt. Ben Patterson.
Executive Producer - Col. Don Schofield
Producer - Chief Master Sgt. Dennis Hoffmann
Videographers - Technical Sgts. Eddie Sanders and Tim Hilgert
Editor - Master Sgt. Emily Wellington
Audio Engineers - Master Sgt. Josh Voyles and Technical Sgt. Pedro Rodríguez Ramírez

Virtuosity is always a good thing! And can be harnessed to creativity.

I had to listen to this for band, but like it’s actually good.

[@saxophobe]

Great arrangement Ben!

We think so too!

[@lucasbeebe5349]

That was absolutely incredible!

[@thadalberty3419]

This tune has some shades of Bill Evans’s “Nardis” and Steely Dan’s “Josie.” Nice!

[@optimaldietcoach1705]

Wow! Bravo! Such a driving rhythm section on this tune and fantastic horn sections too. If I hear of them playing near me, would go in a heartbeat! Keep us posted please 🙂

Yes. Some of our guest Artist concerts are recorded in its entirety, but in collaboration with our guest artists, we decide what is released to the public on our social media sites and KZbin. Perhaps we will have more content to share! Stay tuned 😉
