Comparing players of this skill level isn't possible. It comes down to personal preference, they are all extremely talented in different ways.

I've seen both David Binney and Chris Potter live and they both give a really amazing show, each in a different way. Donny McCaslin is also really fantastic, and I really want to see him sometime.

Really you guys shouldn't be arguing who's better, instead you should be celebrating that we are blessed with such fantastically talented musicians.

my personal opinion? Chris Potter is the greatest tenor player of today's age

[jasondavisjazz]

@saxobone13 I don't know anyone who conceives rhythm as just downbeats... but ok.

@DayTripper1231 Joshua Redman? They're pretty much equal in ability but I prefer Redman to him.

I think chris potter plays so many notes because he probably conceives rhythm as more than just down beats. I don't know about the rest of you, but the more I listen to chris potter the more melody I hear in his solos. Call me crazy but listen to the accents

I recently saw Dave Holland and then Underground (mainly for others in the bands such as Nate Smith and Adam Rogers) but was blown away by Potter who I somehow never knew was at this level. I am a fan of Steve Grossman, Ivo Perelman, Harry Sokal and a handful of others but thought Potter was stellar and at least the equal of anyone I've personally seen. Ridiculous articulation.
