Yes, it's a lot of notes, but they're uniquely his and always exciting, never stale. I've listened to everything this man has ever put out, and it's always fresh. The guy is incredibly imaginative. On top of that, his tonguing & rhythmic control are head and shoulders above his peers (redman, marsalis, alexander, turner, etc.) He is very special. If Jazz was as popular a genre as it was 50 years ago, this guy would be revered as much as Trane and Cannonball.

Think about the sax clicks and key work... It seems to be part of his keeping time. Those clicks go with his breath marks and phrasing... I may be wrong but I hear and see no movement wasted. This is where there doesn't seem to be a disconnect between his brain and body. I not into hero worship but just giving an observation on what I see and hear.

Love his sound when he come back to the head, whew. This is the kind of stuff that makes KZitem so great. Nice posting.

Did you really think that is all he did for this workshop? You probably have never been to workshop or masterclass. They usually don't last a mere 11 minutes. This was probably his opening or ending performance to showcase his skills and validity of what he is talking about. The sorry part about this recording is the fact that the recorder didn't post the priceless information Chris Potter gave out to the audience. I am thankful for this video though. Priceless music and information given here.

I saw him back in 2009 in North GA. My word he just destroyed it. The best part was that my chums and got to hang out with him afterwards and just pick his brain. He draws influence from EVERYTHING. At the time he was telling us he was diggin Willie Nelson. Incredible musician, not enough credit.

Scott Eckart As a guy who has been obsessed with Potter for the past 17 years, has heard every recording he's been on and has seen him live probably 40x, and has spoken to him a few times, I'd say this is 95% improvised. I dare you to search for a different recording where he plays these "licks." You won't find it because he's not that kind of player. I'm sure he had a vision of how he wanted the whole thing to be shaped, but other than that his brain to finger communication is what makes this sound so natural and composed. It's a quality he has that all of his peers always raved about when he was young - his command of the instrument and ability to articulate his ideas in real time. It's truly astounding.
