{"product_id":"potter-chris-alive-with-ghosts-today","title":"Potter, Chris - Alive With Ghosts Today","description":"\u003ci\u003eAlive With Ghosts Today\u003c\/i\u003e is Chris Potter's suite inspired by the story of the\nabolitionist, John Brown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPotter, widely regarded as one of the most influential improvisers and composers of\nhis generation, traces Brown's 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry - a moment that exposed\nthe contradictions, violence and ideals at the heart of America. He uses the narrative\nas a lens to explore belief, sacrifice and the unresolved tension that still sits in\nAmerican life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe music pushes into a raw, American- rooted soundworld shaped by blues, folk,\nCopland- esque harmony, and the rhythmic drive that runs through the country's\nhistory. The ensemble was built to sound like a small- town band with limited\nresources but deep character - guitar, bass, drums, violin, clarinet and trombone. Bill\nFrisell's guitar forms the emotional centre, carrying the grain and warmth Potter\nimagined while writing. Nate Smith and Burniss Travis lock the pulse with weight and\nfeel. Sarah Caswell's violin moves between classical clarity and fiddle grit. Clarinetist\nRane Moore and trombonist Zekkereya El- magharbel shape the edges of the music\nwith distinct colours, turning written material into something lived-in and human. Their\ncollective sound gives the suite its shape and force.","brand":"Edition Records","offers":[{"title":"Red 2LP","offer_id":51062227173654,"sku":"RMX-63635","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clear Blue LP","offer_id":51062227304726,"sku":"RMX-63636","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51062227370262,"sku":"RMX-63637","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/24bf299da86c3ebdae73d909a210a1b3.jpg?v=1772206477","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/potter-chris-alive-with-ghosts-today","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
