This is what make YouTube great! This is a cool clip. These are some badd-assed tenor solos! Cats can play the horn man... but Benny is a sick puppy!! Some where there after the 12:30 mark it just starts to levitate the whole thing into another dimension.

Check trio recordings with James Williams and Monk. I heard him live doing trios so my info is a bit in real time. A lot is lost when you don't hear music/players live. He was and is a founding father of modern drumming, IMO.
-
got me there, although I still didn't find him to be particularly so when backing a quartet or quintet even, but i'll give it a shot. don't get me wrong, he's a good drummer, just subtle is not a trait I would look to blakey for.
-
@fLKommotioN I guess you haven't heard any of Art's trio recordings. He was a very subtle when he wanted to be.
-
i'm not sure i'd list art blakey as a subtle drummer, and also, i'd say this song is more played in a rock style appropriate for the drums i'm hearing, and more to the point, i'd say the whole trio is sort of loud, so pinning it all on the drummer is a little unfair.
-
@fLKommotioN I think indaplace 2b was referring to the volume & intensity created by the drummer. He plays so loud & up front & on top of everyone, especially during the solos that everyone else has to blow louder to be heard over him. No subtlety at all. LIsten to Master jazz drummers Art Blakey Elvin Jones & Tony Williams, dynamic & inventive but they backed, guided & communicated w/ soloists, not smother them. This guy is boring & belongs in a rock group full of screaming loud guitarists.

I like Potter but I'd like him to play more "out"... and to less recite his scales... Marcus is wonderful.
-
NICE...love Chris and Marcus solo's.
-
wow Ive never seen these fusionists play
theyre an excellent group of musians
Actually, playing after Potter was very fun experience for me! - Marcus Strickland
