"The Sirens" started out with Mr. Potter parsing a Teutonic melody on alto flute, and later crested in an expressionistic soprano saxophone entreaty in free-form tempo, evoking the facet of Mr. Shorter's style that has its truest adherents in Jan Garbarek (and, given a certain mood, Branford Marsalis).
