The differences were merely in the arrangers’ taste and personality. The Potts recording was in contrast to the Gil Evans/Miles Davis landmark rendition of Porgy and Bess that commercially overshadowed it. Bill struck a balance between reverence for Gershwin’s music, roaring swing and a melancholy tinge without ever loosing his own identity. I find the arrangement of “My Man’s Gone Now” very moving as well. Phil Woods’ “Bess, You Is My Woman,” Sweets Edison and Zoot Sims on a surprisingly uptempo “Summertime” and Bill Evans on “I Loves You, Porgy” are highlights. The band on Jazz Soul consisted of many of the top players of the day, and Bill wrote in a way that let them all shine. Potts’ artistic vision is vivid and palpable on his remarkable 1959 big-band recording The Jazz Soul of Porgy and Bess. There was also a weeklong gig in 1956 leading a local trio backing up Lester Young that was recorded and released on a series of Pablo recordings beginning in 1980. The band hosted a series of special guests, including Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Potts’ sense of uplifting, lyrical swing was already in evidence on those early efforts. In the mid-’50s he cut his teeth arranging for the Orchestra, a nationally recognized, D.C.-based big band that was presented by Voice of America’s Willis Conover. His writing was also sophisticated, elegant, sometimes unpredictable and always full of heart.Ī native of Arlington, Va., Bill spent close to 12 years in New York bookended by periods of prominence on the Washington, D.C., area scene.
It’s also been said by many musicians that Bill’s charts “play themselves” as the writing is so natural. He didn’t have to “learn to swing.” In fact, he was incapable of playing or writing anything that didn’t feel inevitable.
