Potter and Tillman- New York to L.A.: Coasting

The the 1970s, Andrew Potter and Eric Tillman, two Chicago friends and musicians, split for opposite coasts; Tillman to the west, Potter to the east. The two were successful in their local jazz & funk scenes touring with Minnie Riperton, The Dells, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Ryo Kawasaki, among others. The duo combined jazz-funk fusion backgrounds on their 1980 record New York to L.A.: Coasting that was recently reissued by High Jazz Records. It’s got the sizzle and groovy bump of the nightclub scenes happening at both ends of the country.
