Love how he uses dynamics as well! This is just great music!
Again, tears it up.
Great Saxophonist and Artistic
Chris is also a great teacher. You are looking at the glass as half empty.
Dang Killer sound!!
@Superdry1302 Technique wis probably, but Redman puts SO much soul into every note, I think it would be awesome to see
Hey guys, I think you give so much importance to the stuffs he uses to play, Selmer that, Dukoff this, Conn bla bla. Think about this: he play good because he studies to play good. I saw people playing whit old and bad saxophones and they played good. The only one secret: a good teacher, and study.
Clinics are usually just open up for questions. Not a planned type of ordeal. Also i believe he teaches at nyu.
wow, this man is incredible! he is truly the most technically advanced saxophonist as of now!
@Jazzman, Thanks for your input...and I tend to agree with you on that topic. The saxophone is a very expressive instrument. And regarding (what do you want?) Shit man, how did you know my birthday was coming up?...I could use a new box of reeds,'Vandoren JAZZ 2's would be nice...
Take care man, and I'm just enjoying this topic of jazz and the saxophone.
0:41 - "see if i can remember the head"
lol, what a jerk. Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing
HEY! Chris Potter is the nicest guy you could ever meet! If you watch the video he literally didn't remember the melody! He was serious
What sax is he playing, model, make - doesnt look like Selmer. King? Great stuff !
Is there any didactic matherial from him ?
@2mitches yeap !
What do you mean?
If you can't learn from this video you aren't trying enough. Dig in, write it out, comp over it fifty times, just do some work and don't expect it to be handed to you on a silver platter. Just ask anyone who learned all the old bird solos by hand
Get tha fff#$%&* out
@kusanophone now that's what I call self-effacing. A god of the saxophone pretending he might not remember the head. And then what he dies is play the head, but not, but yes, but wtf. Mans a complete genius. Makes me want to die, practise like a monothematic microbe or drink myself stupid.
3:26 on.... WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
@kusanophone lol lot's of musicians do that especially sax players
He literally didn't remember the melody!! He never actually played it correctly. Chris Potter has no ego at all and is the nicest most humble guy you could ever meet
If you watched this and didn't learn anything you weren't trying. A close up view of a master playing unaccompanied - priceless.
@Superdry1302 It's a Dukoff Hollywood (he says so in the full DVD) in "something like a 7" b/c apparently chris potter will play whatever he wants and sounds beast on it without regard to little details us sax mortals worry about such as tip openings
See that is what I find so confusing...and I agree with you, but then you see someone like Chris Potter play...and he does move his embouchure. I find I have to adjust mine from the top of the horn to the bottom. If I want the bottom to come out loud and strong I have to make a big change with reed pressure, amount of reed in my mouth, and wind pressure too.
What sax is he playing, model, make - doesnt look like Selmer. King? Great stuff ! MPC might be Otto Link but anyone know ?
sorry bout the wrong info on the mouthpiece, i just figured its what he played on a few years before that
It's a selmer super balanced action and a link mp with a selmer lig, not that any of that really matters .
@frasermanx it is a selmer SBA with selmer lig, florida link and rico reeds
IMO he says a lot more with his horn than he could with his words.
I think you're right...
Is he playing on a Dukoff here? The white bite plate and 404 lig make me think so
Nope.
Thanks man...
Just superb!!
Talking about embouchure and whether we need to change it or adjust it as we play all over the horn...Well they don't come any better than Chris when it comes to playing. You can see the profile shots of Chris on this video...man his jaw is constantly moving forward and back and this guy plays all over the horn in big jumps and leaps. So many guys are out there saying you should never change your embouchure, I'm sure they just aren't aware of the fact that they do. I think it's necessary...
I personally would love to see him and Redman play together. They are my two favorite living saxophonists :D
I love his sound and impeccable usage of the range. He inspires me every time I listen to him.
