Impresionante ! Técnica impecable e insuperable ! Suena terrible y toca impecable en.3 octavas.. Creatividad ..feeling.. es too much .Es el mejor tenor de los últimos 30 años sin dudarlo..para mi por supuesto
This is greatness in the superlative degree, isn't it? The song, improv., and tutor exercises are organically "Real Jazz" in nature. I adore his alto saxophone sound-voice more; it is/uses to be bright, fat and round - with like skill as being herein demonstrated.
Well, exactly what you said, drugs and alcohol seem to be a part of the life style of a lot of musicians. But I think there is a trend going in jazz, along with jazz education. Musicians are living cleaner, healthier lives it seems. I hope that continues, there are a lot of talented musicians out there that I hope live a long time.
Serious advice: Don't listen to Chris Potter near your horn!! She'll most likely be thrown away through the window and that's something you could regret after a few days
The first 7 minutes comes off like a list of cool and interesting things he knows how to play. All the sudden at 7:18 he starts putting something into it and playing music! Burning!
Fine line between making a load of noise on a beautiful handmade instrument designed for making musical tones according to a set of well established and understood criteria which has been proven to work when mastered -and what we hear here. Thank goodness each to their own when exercising freewill.
for sure just give me your email and you'll be set. you'll probably be getting it in the future cause i haven't started yet so yeah but you will get it just that it might take a while. i also have alot of other stuff that i will simply add just for the long wait basically. Anyways, have a great weekend and thanks for the interest.
Yeah. Good point! Why do you bring that up if i may ask? Jazz is a battlefield of drugs and depression, no money and not enough understanding listeners. Takes too much brain power for many people because they cant dig into it deep, and therefore cannot catch onto anything familiar. Maybe it is fear, fear that drives pop listeners to stay in their catchy world and fear driving jazz players to use and drink to squelch thoughts of not writing exactly what they want to express / people want to hear
Being very nit-picky, I would agree. My only (minor) problem with his playing is that I never feel a sense of vulnerability...other than that, he is the technical king!!!
Yeah he sure is man. I like your idea yeah i like to do alot of trading and i have alot of stuff as well that we could possibly trade that is if you have more stuff as well. definitely will let you know when i am done. i haven't even started yet but I'll get to it and contact you when it's done. Glad this semester is almost done for me so i can do this.
i should mention, this is a-capella. could u advice some other tenors playin` alone with such a huge groove and that amount of ideas? i personally prefer this a-capella over Brecker`s or Carter`s..
that is a mathematical absurdity. hyperbole , bullshit. inaccurate, bad poetry. His playing is not quantum levels above Dexter Gordon's in any regard. Power, originality, swing, lyricism, technique. Back the fuck up. So would Potter tell you if you said that to him."oh gee Chris, your playing is like, Dexter Gordon's to the 5th power" picture yourself there fool. Back the fuck up, rethink and say something intelligent.
There is technique when he is playing but not the deepness that the African American soul possesses. Plain and simple the message is not delivered here.
he's too much! in a good and bad way. It's like the most killing playing with so many ridiculous ideas, yet i feel its too intense in a way that loses musicality and vibe in his playing
