Spot on. I think that’s the description of all masters. We can learn the language, the feel, how to emote, how to listen, how to react, how to swing, and how to build but to be able to do that all consistently at the highest level takes talent and hard work.
This is a prove, that the best era of jazz music isn't over yet. Jazz music is still alive, fresh, and great. This is a perfect example, that unforgeable recordings are still possible to be made. Thank you guys for opening your souls and wisdom to us 🙏
first listen was 1 week ago, yesterday i started humming parts and now i have re-listened about 6 times. this song is going to be like holdsworth to me, don't quite understand at first but when it hits you, you will never grow tired of it.
I can’t hold back, I must write this out. I almost cried. They obviously are both unbelievably gifted, although Shai Maestro shocked me on a whole new level. I’m speechless.
Pinny Ostreicher this is truly one of the absolute greatest recordings of a jazz ballad in all of history, and I doubt anyone could change my mind. It competes with the best of the best, such as the miles Davis recording of 'it never crossed my mind.'
@@cjgreen4331 did you like it? I find it's somewhat of a personal thing, but there's just some people who get it and some who don't, and that's okay. This performance immediately went in at least my top 3 of all time when I heard it, but other friends of mine that listen to jazz didn't even like it.
@@charliecampbell6851 @Charlie Campbell Yeah, I love jazz, only thing I listen to 24/7, from sambas to hard bop to ballads to swing era big bands, it's all great. But this didnt strike me in any way, it really felt more like a piece to study harmonically or a piece of art than the music I usually love, even with Chris Potter on it
So much intimacy between the piano and saxophone as a duo, you can hear both instruments connect with one another like a marriage. Unbelievable playing from two fine musicians, i would love to see an album with Shai Maestro and Chris Potter one day, i think it would be amazing.
my god when they go back to the head at the end it’s just like they visited all the harmonic lands in the vast infinite musical universe and now they are back home! It’s a sort of a release that just pulls you back to familiarity. Fucking absolutely brilliant and powerful performance by these two! ❤️
and the way Shai just stomps on those whole note chords just is so critical after the varying rhythmic choices made by both! after all of the beautiful chaos they’ve created they now arrive back to familiar grounds. It’s just so powerful when they go back into the head like that.
I started hearing it and was like, is that a messed up bass response or something, and then was like noooo way, that is just so good, i dont know how but it just hit me deep in my heart.
@@charliecampbell6851 I'm coming back to this performance every few weeks, listening again and again, each time I find new musical treasures, and each time I'm speechless.
Both ”Artful” and full of spontanious energy. No wonder with so much talent. Maestro lay down a new interesting path and Potter enjoy and take care of elements as only he can do. 🙏🏻
6:20 such a simple line, but you really feel like they're simultaneously reaching into the depths of their souls and for something high in the sky that's just out of reach.
Love Chris Potter but Shai Maestro will pay more attention to him in future. All the things you are a favourite with most jazzmen seems to have opened my ears up to him.
Everyone is talking about Potters playing... and although I am a sax guy and love everything he does, in this instance I was more taken by the unique piano playing. Very well done! I only my piano guys could play like that!!! Just WOW
@@benjaminmillermusic yes, different opinions make the world richer.. Anyway I'm a tenor player so, even if I try, I cannot be totally impartial in my listenings
The improvised score of the piano will be very interesting !! The harmonies that Shai Maestro plays are incredible !! Anyone having that score,I thanks you in advance !!! Thanks
Rhythmically, harmonically, and melodically adventurous, with constant tension and release maneuvers beautifully executed...Bad motherfuckers right here( in the best sense )😎👍

@@stuart8663 A trio gig outside LA in the 90's, having trouble syncing with the bassist and drummer. Couldn't find the pocket, one of those nights that makes you doubt yourself. Afterwards I said to the bass man " Homes, I sound like shit. Can't play anything that works. I should just quit, like permanently " He said " Just a bad night. Drummer's rushing overplaying too loud..Don't sweat it. Mark you're a motherfucker". Exactly the comforting words I needed to hear.
Super bravo !!! Top ! CP- Mais pourquoi répétez-vous tout ce que je dis? SM- Pourquoi répétez-vous tout ce que je dis? CP- C'est bien ce que je dis ! SM- C'est bien ce que je dis ! CP- laisse tomber ... SM- laisse tomber ?
Absolutely stunning! What musicians: the tune remains there throughout the whole, there are several arcs in their solos, they listen and listen some more. And there is time, plenty of it.
Sometimes a classical player, sometimes a bassoon player. Chris is somethin' else! And Shai Maestro -- wow -- depth and creativity both in the intro and in comping for Chris! Thank you Shai, for upping this fantastic video!
Un grand classique revisite, des harmonies modernes, de l'inventivité par ces deux musiciens hors pairs mais avec toujours, ce qui fait l'essentiel du jazz, c'est à dire le swing.....keep swinging !!!
Fantastic, so true and unrestrained, complete freedom, story of the world within one song... I'm amazed... When I heard Shai years ago for the first time I felt there is something special about him. Thank you sir Maestro!
Siete tutti e due eccezionali ,sapienza tecnica ,genialita fantasia e inventiva che difficilmente si trovano oggi,avete reinterpretato questo brano alla grande.
This is one of those performances that is good to come back to periodically to reset your soul.
Truly the embodiment of trying to remember a catchy song while your brain is melting.
😅
😂😂😂
Oh, I’ve heard that song before.
No you haven’t.
What I love about jazz
And that's jazz loving you back.
That’s so on point, Bruce 👍
yeah I thought I knew this song inside and out :) Apparently not..
That's the profound beauty of this music the conversation is always changing...
YES! I am a classical pianist, but such a jazz head as a listener, and so omg you said it.
Potter's sense of architecture is astounding. His ideas are not just brilliant but so well-placed.

shai's reharm on this is magnificent - I love how the melody becomes the bass line in some places
C'est absolument étourdissant de créativité, de liberté et en même temps où la rigueur de ne faire que de la musique est de mise.... ❤❤❤
4:21 cosmic alignment...
Is anyone here who listens to this every day?
Joe Samon I am!!!!
Pierpaolo Gregorig i am

Me!
yes...........
Chris Potter is from another planet. No earthling could be this incredible!!
He is on a level rarely reached in any field of professionalism. I don't believe there is anything he can't do. He's " Dat Dude"
1 yr later this performance still evokes tears of joy. It is so incredibly beautiful.

For me this is a great example of great mutual listening !!! Wow!! Took me elsewhere...
Really nice reworking of an old classic. shai's contrapuntal piano improvisation is great. A true Bach of jazz.
That low subtone Bb…so good 🥹

good marriage*
This with headphones on in a quiet room is what heaven sounds like
I think my jaw won't return to its place today...
I have NEVER heard anything like that. EVER. Probably the greatest piece of music that I've ever listened to. Absolutely incredible.
beautiful interpretation, listen the one from Mehldau done few years ago, equally beautiful ✌
Came for Chris Potter, stayed for piano wizardry
This was phenomenally cosmic. How lovely ✨

In some circles this music is considered grown folks music/ not from an age reference/ but the level conversation...
Great stuff. Also love the way Chris stayed in the vibe at the very end and didn't feel the need to do a 30 minute cadenza to finish. Beautiful stuff.
This changed my life, thank you.
Pretty incredible duet, isn't it?
Same
Jordan Morack this changed my afterlife
???
Arkham Noir fairly sure it changed mine too, or at least it's working at it.
Im deeply moved by how you could hear Shai silently singing to himself along his playing.
Welcome to the blessed but small group of people who have really truly heard this rendition and have had the full meaning behind it hit them.
I started hearing it and was like, is that a messed up bass response or something, and then was like noooo way, that is just so good, i dont know how but it just hit me deep in my heart.
Kaden N anyone who tells you that pianists just hit keys with their fingers and can’t compete with the feeling and emotion of wind players is crazy
@@charliecampbell6851 I'm coming back to this performance every few weeks, listening again and again, each time I find new musical treasures, and each time I'm speechless.
Two Human Beings ! Totally Brilliant World Class Musicians ! Thank You So Very Much !
Bravo les jazzmens.
i love this, they found a new world inside a very old song
Incredibly inventive deconstruction/reconstruction of this classic standard. Congrats!
Beyond amazing bro! … when you thought nothing else could be done to this standard 😮 … this!
I'm thunderstruck. It's beautiful
Every time. A few more tears.
La fluidité et l'invention harmonique et contrapunctique de Shai Maestro sont complètement ahurissantes...
Wow. Never of the piano player before but to maintain that intellectual level and emotional impact with CP is impressive, together it’s a blessing
I'm in thrills..One of the best performances Iv'e heard
Just listened to Shai live in a solo piano concert, he also played All The Things You Are and it was great, had to come here right away
I am deeply moved. Thanks for reminding me of the power of music. I cried. This is just incredible.
BRILLIANT!!😮😊🎉❤
shoot, every time this one plays while I'm doing my work I'm left sitting pondering life. SO FREAKING GOOD
Bravo!!!
I have just been scrambled!
Both ”Artful” and full of spontanious energy. No wonder with so much talent. Maestro lay down a new interesting path and Potter enjoy and take care of elements as only he can do. 🙏🏻
That intro was deep!
This amazing performance confirms my belief that Paolo Fazioli really does make the best grand pianos in the world.
Yeeeeeeesss
what a touch it sounds like prepared piano
6:20 such a simple line, but you really feel like they're simultaneously reaching into the depths of their souls and for something high in the sky that's just out of reach.
Half steps on the changes bring depth out of " simplicity ".
5:36 entrance to Heaven ❤️
I love what pianist is doing under Chris' solo. Feels like Chris also digs that comping. Totally amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Agreed. You should consider checking out Shai Maestro Trio's latest album. Great stuff!
Остапа, я тебя вижу :)
Love how Shai and especially Chris really dig into that ending bridge chord with the C9 b13
Beautifully compelling. This is up there with some Konitz duets over these changes.
one of those moments where there's something special in the air, and everything goes right... thank you for giving this to the world
Love Chris Potter but Shai Maestro will pay more attention to him in future. All the things you are a favourite with most jazzmen seems to have opened my ears up to him.
6:13 !!! amazing
Really inspiring, this duet is just superb.
Just brilliant, the most inspired thing I’ve heard in years.
All the things you couldn't even imagine in this song...
Everyone is talking about Potters playing... and although I am a sax guy and love everything he does, in this instance I was more taken by the unique piano playing. Very well done! I only my piano guys could play like that!!! Just WOW
same!
I second that!
Not exactly unique. His playing here shows very heavy influence from Brad Mehldau.
@@UkuleleAversion mm well we could keep going further back haha. Fred hersch f.e.
@@MrMortadeloyfilemon True but even though Brad cites him as a big influence on his own solo piano their styles are very different.
Astonishing playing by Shai, but for me the real Maestro is Chris.. He's the Potter that magic jazz needs
Jazz Batman?
Haha nice wordplay
amen! :)
i thought the exact opposite. interesting how people's opinions differ
@@benjaminmillermusic yes, different opinions make the world richer.. Anyway I'm a tenor player so, even if I try, I cannot be totally impartial in my listenings
The improvised score of the piano will be very interesting !!
The harmonies that Shai Maestro plays are incredible !!
Anyone having that score,I thanks you in advance !!!
Thanks
4:51 Holy shit, that reharm lined up so well with Chris' run. Then Shai fucking completes Chris' phrase *as he's playing it*. Dude has psionic powers.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing Shia. Chris Potter is in deed , as you once said , Superman. And so are You. Breathtaking
WOWWW Only withe 3 beginning minutes of delicious piano I was ready to go 🤩... But, then... Come Potter and 😳... Mein Gottt what a Duo!!!! 🥳😱
I almost cried
Rhythmically, harmonically, and melodically adventurous, with constant tension and release maneuvers beautifully executed...Bad motherfuckers right here( in the best sense )😎👍
@@ViziaFilms Indeed! Mastery of craft plus imagination equals magic!

This is absolutely stunning!!!
Amazing, thanks for posting, the piano guy is burning hot too, bro Potter.
Super bravo !!! Top !

Wow, this is just incredible on so many levels.
Shai is a very responsive accompanist
It never stops !!!
Their inspiration grows eternally...👍
Crescendo...crescendo 👏
7:54 this note is so beautiful
OK...I'm stunned!!!!
Absolutely stunning! What musicians: the tune remains there throughout the whole, there are several arcs in their solos, they listen and listen some more. And there is time, plenty of it.

This one of the craziest things I’ve ever had to pleasure of hearing
Excelent Performance. Beautiful frases. Those are The Musicians.

Chris Potter is a god his musicianship is simply awe inspiring - and of course shai is fantastic too :^)
Potter is outstanding
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh boy! I really enjoyed that!!!
Incredible!❤
that's brilliant! i can't remember anything better now!
This one is truely a starship, right from the beginning!
Fantastic!!!💪💪💪
this really reminds me of the concert Solal and Konitz played. so much conversation happening.
Indeed!! Those are pure magic!
Brilliant by both artists. Incredibly imaginative and fabulously performed. I am late coming to this but I will be happily looking for more!!!
This is out of this world. Both truly help say "all the thing you are"...
Yeah, you are Fantastic, really beatiful version. Ciao Paolo from Milan Italy
Out of this world!
Very beautiful audible art at the highest level. Incredibly inspiring..
One of the most beautiful ATTYA I’ve ever heard in my life!!!
Thank you both, gentleman…cheers from Brazil!!!
can't help singing along
Magnifique!
The final boss in every saxophone video game
I liked the nes version of "saxophone saxant" because I only had 2 notes to worry about, B and A
