THIS EVENING ON JAZZSET: CHRIS POTTER

Saxophonist Chris Potter, bright-toned and gymnastically powerful, has been reading Homer lately. That's inspired his latest suite, The Sirens, a collection of tuneful numbers based on The Odyssey and geared largely around a quartet of widely admired musicians, not least of whom is Potter himself, writes Patrick Jarenwattananon of NPR Music. 

JazzSet airs Thursdays at 6:00 PM on KUVO/KVJZ and Saturdays at 4:00 PM on KUVO HD2.

Start your day with Community, Culture and Music. Business and news, plus Stories of Standards.
