Here’s another great Chris Potter masterclass from 12-4-15 in Akron, Ohio that someone posted on Youtube. This is just an audio of the masterclass. Chris Potter’s opening solo on Cherokee is amazing as usual. I can’t get enough of these solos and masterclasses! Check it out!
I find these solos technically brilliant, but to be honest: they don’t touch me emotionally. Not a bit.
A different approach every chorus or two. Linear or harmonic, diatonically, pentatonically, overtones, and several others. He’s teaching while he’s playing! I haven’t listened to a lot of Chris Potter, but I plan to now. Fantastic, AND it touches me emotionally. More than just a bit.
I love Chris’ playing, I do think he is a genius (like Michael Brecker)…Thanks for doing the transcription of the second chorus Steve…very helpful to be able to look at his ideas from a reading POV.
Did you do chorus #1 ?
and….are planning to tackle more choruses ?
All the best,
Wil
Wil, You probably know by now but we finished the whole solo earlier this week and it is posted. Steve
