The interview is fascinating and Chris has such a humble and real honesty about him that it is like he&#8217;s in your living room talking to you. \u00a0At the 7:45 mark they play a duo version of &#8220;Without a Song&#8221;. \u00a0I love the comment about Chris having a &#8220;bionic&#8221; ear right before they play. (I&#8217;m curious what the Joe Henderson changes to &#8220;Without a Song&#8221; are also&#8230;..?) At 26:50 they play an old Chris Potter tune called &#8220;All by All&#8221; which he wrote when he was 16. \u00a0At 35:12 Christian McBride gives Chris a blindfold test which I found \u00a0interesting and funny also. \u00a0At the 51:00 minute mark they play a fast blues that is smokin&#8217; \u00a0Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. \u00a0Thanks for the great playing and interview Chris Potter and Christian McBride.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FzB-HuxqeWM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>PS. \u00a0 I did some research into the Joe Henderson changes to &#8220;Without a Song&#8221; and found a lead sheet online that has these changes in the first 8 bars of the A section. \u00a0These happen in bars 1-8, 17-24 and 41-48. \u00a0The rest of the tune is pretty much the same. This version is from the Joe Henderson album &#8220;The Kicker&#8221;. \u00a0 Very hip first 8 bars! \u00a0I love the sound of that A7#11 after the EbMaj7.<\/p>\n<p>EbMaj7\/A7#11\/AbMaj7\/F#7\/<\/p>\n<p>BMaj7\/EMaj9#11\/F-7\/Bb7\/<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the Joe Henderson version to check out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6IQLYIYT11g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Without a Song-Joe Henderson changes from &#8220;The Kicker&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another great interview and performance by the great saxophone player Chris Potter. \u00a0This was recorded from Christian McBride&#8217;s SiriusXM radio show &#8220;The Low Down&#8221;.
