Sometimes all you have to do is look at the personnel on a recording and you know it’s going to be special before you press play. Good Hope , featuring American saxophonist Chris Potter, English double bassist Dave Holland and the India-born tabla master Zakir Hussain—collectively the Crosscurrents Trio—is that kind of album. Each of the three is a bona fide master, and the prospect of hearing what they create together is too good to pass up. Holland and Potter are renowned contemporary jazz players, but it’s percussion-titan Hussain who gives their explorations colors and depth that would not have been possible with even the most brilliant of Western drummers. Each musician contributes compositions to the set, but there are few distinctive clues as to which player wrote which song, as their instrumental voices find commonality on each of the eight numbers. There are, of course, moments when each shines—Potter, as the nominal lead instrument, gets the lion’s share of the solo time—but this is a band of equals in every sense. “Suvarna,” a Hussain-penned tune, builds at a leisurely pace— Potter filling in the spaces with his fluid, well-crafted lines, while his own “Ziandi,” the album’s opener, is exotic and ethereal without trying to be: When Holland and Hussain engage sans saxophone just past the midway mark, it’s easy to lose oneself in their reverie. This is gorgeous music with an international essence that evades easy categorization.
