Dave Potter and Retro Groove performed at The Nash Jazz Club @thenashjazz March 11, 2023.
The quartet led by Potter performed jazz-flavored arrangements of modern classics from Michael Jackson, Chaka Khan, Peter Gabriel, Prince and The Doobie Brothers to the delight of the audience.
A native of North Carolina, Dave began playing drum set in high school and starting performing with his elders in the RDU area at the age of 16. Following his graduation from Florida State University, he was chosen from a national pool of applicants to be a member of the Louis Armstrong Quintet at the University of New Orleans. In 2010, Potter was featured in a novel entitled “The New Face of Jazz” about the younger generation of Jazz musicians making an impact in the current scene and is a member of The Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet as well as his new project as a leader, Retro Groove.
