Chris Potter "Anthropology"

"Chris is always fully entertaining," says Cohen. "He's one of the only players who, from passage to passage or from phrase to phrase, never seems to repeat himself. He's just always full of delight and surprise. I think he's one of the best tenor players under the age of 40 out there right now."

Why do people gotta be all selective? Saying Potter can play as well as Bergonzi and Grossman is some bullshit. All those guys are masters and I'm sure they have a mutual respectfor each other. Once you get to the Brecker, Lovano, Charlie Parker, ect. level how cansomebody be BETTER than another person? It's freaking improvisation!!! Jaz doesn't need any more hater, jazz nazi attitude. Enough people totally don't give a shit about jazz, jazz fans don't need to make it worse saying bad shit

that first lick he played at the beginning the solo reminds me of rhythm-a-ning by monk

If you like Potter, and Frahm, you'll like Anton Harris too.

If you like Potter, you'll like Joel Frahm too.

@Thundermonkeyms I'm sick of the lick too, but Potter just makes it sound so cool to play it!

[keckerschman]

Very good one, butz in my opinion he plays to many ghost notes in the thema. but very straight, very good bebop :)

@danddel I think both songs are based off of the I got Rhythm Progression
