Reviews
Bob Young, Jazziz:  What’s ultimately most striking about Concentric Circles is just how confident and mature a debut [sic] it is.
Mark Stryker, Dayton Daily News:  ... it takes 23-year-old saxophonist Chris Potter all of 15 seconds to establish himself as one of the most gifted musicians in jazz under 30....  the authority and versatility displayed here puts many better-known young lions to shame.
Down Beat:  ... a talented young saxophonist worth hearing ... brings discipline, linear imagination, and strong hints of lyric grace to his tenor, alto, or soprano on seven intriguing originals and two freshly roasted chestnuts...
All-Music Guide  Only 23 at the time of this Concord CD, Chris Potter shows a great deal of originality in his explorative styles...
