Vertigo (Chris Potter album)


Vertigo is an album by jazz saxophonist Chris Potter released on the Concord label in 1998.

Reception

The Allmusic review by David R. Adler awarded the album 4 stars stating "Vertigo is Potter's most mature and expressive work to date.... Vertigo reveals Potter as a player and composer with an uncommonly personal vision".
All About Jazz correspondent Jack Bowers observed "All of the songs on Vertigo, Potter's fifth date under his own name for Concord Jazz, were composed by the 27-year-old South Carolinian, and none of them, to these ears, serves as more than a convenient springboard for improvisation... if I were more enamored of Potter's still-developing prowess as a composer, the session would receive more than a lukewarm endorsement".
