Chris Potter’s Burnin’ Impressions Tenor Saxophone Solo Transcription

Here is another great tenor sax solo transcription by Dimitrii Sergheev of Chris Potter soloing on Impressions by John Coltrane.  Chris Potter is at the 2019 Groundup Music Fest when people could still hang out together and listen to music. Boy, do I miss those days…..

Last summer,  I discovered Dimitrii Sergheev on Facebook when he was posting killer transcriptions on Youtube.  Dimitrii caught my attention because we seem to have the exact same tastes in great tenor sax solos that need to be transcribed.  I reached out to Dimitrii on Facebook and he happily sent me a bunch of his transcription and gave me permission to post them here on my site.

This is the sixth transcription by Dimitrii Sergheev that I am sharing with his permission. This is Chris Potter’s burning tenor sax solo on “Impressions” from a Youtube video of Chris playing for a masterclass at the GroundUp Music Fest 2019, Miami Beach.  Here’s the video:

This Chris Potter tenor saxophone solo on Impressions is relatively short compared to some of Chris Potter’s other live solos but there is a lot of cool lines and ideas throughout the solo to learn from.

Please support Dimitrii so that he is encouraged to keep transcribing these great sax solos!!!  You can find him at Dimtrii Sergheev’s Youtube where you can “like” and “follow” his page to keep up to date with his latest transcriptions.  You can also find him on his facebook page as well as hear samples of his sax playing on his soundcloud page.

Special thanks, as always, to Chris Potter for all of his contributions to jazz music and the saxophone.
