Search - Joel Spencer / Kelly Sill Quartet, Chris Potter :: Brighter Side

"The best Jazz CD you've never heard of."

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Here is improvised music at it's best, four guys playing with equal voices in a very cooperative way. This CD will probably be lost in the shuffle of everybody who ever owned an instrument releasing a CD in the 90's. IF YOU LIKE MODERN JAZZ WITH A FOCUS ON INTERPLAY AND ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS BUY THIS! I doubt it will be in print for very long. This is easily Chris Potter's best feature for all his talents as a sideman and his song FEAR OF FLYING should be a jazz standard for the 21st century. This is also one of the few CDs featuring Garry Dial's composing that is still in print. Kelly and Joel are two of the best and most sincere musicians out there so don't miss out. The only track that I don't care for is the last, because I feel it doesn't fit very well with the others."
