Chris Potter Underground Orchestra - Imaginary Cities

Review by Konner Smith

The album Imaginary Cities by Chris Potter Underground Orchestra is a masterful piece of work that showcases the incredible talent of its creator and his team of musicians. The album is a celebration of the concept of the city, exploring its many facets and emotions through the medium of jazz music.

From the opening track "Imaginary Cities" to the final notes of "Sky," every track on the album is a unique and powerful experience. The musicianship on display is breathtaking, with each member of the orchestra bringing their own unique style and skill to the table. The result is a cohesive and dynamic sound that is both thrilling and emotionally resonant.

Potter's saxophone playing is, of course, a standout feature of the album. His virtuosic solos and inventive melodies weave in and out of the complex arrangements with ease, adding depth and texture to each track. But the real magic of Imaginary Cities lies in the way the orchestra works together as a unit, with each member contributing to the overall sound and feel of the album.
