      @Aimee Nolte Music If Rick hasn’t already, he will. I love Rick’s reach. He touches intelligibly and deeply on so many facets of music and the music industry (as you’re well aware), and as I delve into his channel - and yours, for that matter - I gain such deeper respect for Rick’s and your work.

    I once took a friend of a friend to see some jazz at 55 Bar in New York, and the artist happened to be Chris Potter. I’m not a huge jazz person, but I had a spiritual experience that night and have seen him about a dozen times since then. I consider him as powerful a musician as there is living. His peaks are absolutely transcendent.

    Great interview! Sounds like it is really tough for jazz in the States! What are you guys doing over there?!

    Further proof that (most)of the greats of this music ARE humble and approachable.Their only true objective is to constantly strive to express themselves to the very best of their ability,therefore leaving no time nor need for pettiness or hostility. The greatest of artists possess the truest of ❤️.

    Chris Potter was my first real jazz concert. Insane. It was as if he was inventing new notes. The whole video is available actually, live at the Blue Whale (rip) online. I was speechless after.

    I was fortunate to attend the New School for Jazz & Contemporary Music with Chris circa 1989-93 and it has been amazing watching his career trajectory!
    Sweet guy with a heart as huge as his talent. Much love and respect to both Chris for being the standard bearer of jazz and for Rick for highlighting artists of this caliber.

    When Chris was a young teen he soloed with a jazz band I was in at the University of South Carolina in the 80's. He was crazy talented. Our director was the late Dr. John Emche.

  • @jeremyleff
    @jeremyleff 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I had the opportunity to mix live sound for Chris Potter once, and got to spend a good deal of time with him. As a sax player myself, not only is he insanely good, but just a super nice guy.

    Another great interview with a musical giant. You have a knack for not only asking the most interesting and thought provoking questions, but you are a great and listener: not interrupting, talking about yourself etc. You are truly great at this.

  • @tommonk7651
    @tommonk7651 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Also played with Steely Dan, I believe. I was at a little jazz club here in Atlanta a few years ago and asked the sax player who he was listening to. Chris Potter was one of the two names he gave me at the time.

    You're like the modern age Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz. Musician to musician interviews are so enlightening.
    Just missing some duet sessions : )

    • @RocknJazzer
      @RocknJazzer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ironic as Marian helped discover Chris, gave him some breaks in the biz early on, and had him on one of her albums

  • @Jasper_the_Cat
    @Jasper_the_Cat 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Rick, you do such a great job of interviewing. Not only do you ask great questions, but I love that you have the patience to sit back and allow the person being interviewed to take time to give a thoughtful response. I think this is especially challenging for TH-camrs because they're accustomed to having the attention 100% on them! Well done! Also, I'd absolutely love to see an interview with Kenny Werner someday, if possible! Thanks!

  • @persistence_of_vision
    @persistence_of_vision 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great interview! Always worthwhile to hear Chris talk about music. From my perspective, I'm really glad the TH-cam boots are there because he plays in so many places and situations that realistically I'm never gonna get to hear any other way. On most of those videos the sound quality is really not that bad.

    Hey Rick, I appreciate how diverse and inclusive you are! I was attending a Jamey Abersold summer jazz camp several years ago and Chris Potter was the main guest artist. I was unfamiliar with him at the time. I attended his evening concert for the week and my thoughts on the experience were how fortunate I was to see one of the biggest genius virtuosos of my lifetime! Thank you for this interview.

    Chris really is incredible. I would love to see / hear him do an album dedicated to Allan Holdsworth, playing 6 - 10 of Allan's songs. Every time I listen to Holdsworth... I envision a great tenor playing. LFG!! 💪🎶🎷🎸

    @frankieconcepcion9011 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Rick, Great stuff as usual! You are my Go-To for anything music related. A topic that id love to see explored and haven't seen yet has to do with Jeff Buckley. I honestly think that had he lived to finish his second album and even had a full career the Rock of Today would be totally Different. In my opinion he had the potential to be the greatest Singer/songwriter of this era by far because of his guitar virtuosity, vocal prowess and sheer ability to create emotive songs. Would love to see a vid on a disection of his songs if you like the idea!
