Arthur –
I met Steve Potts through Steve Lacy another great Sax player with whom Potts and my self were associated. Potts came to India to do music for a film “La Nuit “ in the early 80’s at the time I was bandleader at the Great Eastern Hotel, Calcutta. Potts performed with us for almost a month and we also did a milestone concert at La Martiniere’s which was attended by a few thousand people. In that span of time we built up a close rapport which is still continuing.
Potts came from a musical family (just like me) and was born in Ohio, performed in New York and around the US. Steve Lacy and Potts shifted to Paris where they were given due recognition for their dedication to their art. Hopefully we should be collaborating again soon. Unfortunately Steve Lacy passed away a few years ago.
Here are a few pieces we performed together. Listen for the improvisations and the interactions and developments between the sax and guitar.
