Earlier this month, I got the chance to play with and arrange some of the music of Chris Potter, a grammy-nominated, world-renowned tenor saxophonist. This opportunity was possible thanks to the Western Michigan University "Jazz Masters" series, an annual concert that brings in amazing guest artists to give masterclasses and play with the students in a final concert.
This video is from one of the masterclasses, where I played with the Advanced Jazz Ensemble rhythm section, one of the combos I'm in this semester. Thanks to my good friend Max Fraser for capturing this great footage, hope you enjoy! Please share this video with your friends and family!

Great opportunity, Aris! Nice playing. WMU does a fabulous job bringing in world-class pros to mentor students. Enjoy your time there! I'm a proud WMU Jazz Studies alumnus.

Great technical proficiency. I’m not sure I agree with his initial statement of the melody. It sounds like he either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about the melody and lyrics. A true lover of music and standards keeps the lyrics and melody running through his head for the phrasing and melodic integrity. It’s honoring the composer and the lyricist before you create your own melodies over their song. Having played with some of the best from Chrhistleib to Plas Johnson to Ricky Woodard to Bob Shepard to Bob Cooper and others, I find the bigger the ego the less musical the player.

@ericwaters8141 8 месяцев назад

I think he’s just changing the inflection and rhythm of the melody, it’s very sonny Rollins like. Are you inferring that is complex playing comes from a place of ego rather than serving the music?

This is such a ridiculous comment. 1. True lover of music understands different players bring different elements. You don't have to like what every player brings. 2. If you've ever watched even a single interview with Chris, there is no ego. 3. Comparisons between the greats is pointless, and is only how amateurs think. 4. The amount of work to play like this is astronomical, so to think it's not intentional is again outing yourself. You don't have to like it though.
