Description
Tommy Potter's Hard Funk
East-West 4001
Recorded in Stockholm, 1956
This is the first pressing of an extremely rare jazz piece. It Is also the first record pressed on the East-West label, a division of Atlantic Records.
Tommy Potter was always best-known for his association with Charlie Parker (1947-50), particularly for being a member of Bird's quintet at a time when its other players were Miles Davis, Duke Jordan and Max Roach. Never a major soloist himself on the level of an Oscar Pettiford, Potter (who usually just played four-to-the-bar lines) was really an advanced swing stylist who was flexible (and skilled) enough to keep up with Parker's often rapid tempoes. Potter worked with John Malachi, Trummy Young and then quite notably the Billy Eckstine Orchestra (1944-45). After playing with John Hardee and Max Roach, Potter joined Bird's group. In addition to his work with Charlie Parker, Potter recorded with Bud Powell, Fats Navarro, Wardell Gray and other top bop musicians during the era.
. Tommy Potter only led two record dates, within three days of each other in Stockholm (in 1956) for the Metronome and East West labels.
