I'm taking up golf.

[@pduffy421]

Golf is hard too.

[@billabbott6092]

I know what you mean but I already play golf and I think I'm a better saxophone player than a golfer. Maybe working with clay???

[@cjgreen4331]

I'mma be a professional failure.

[@herbct]

There is no secret or mystery folks. It just takes time and commitment. There is such a wealth of information now that a trained monkey could do it. Taste and knowing what to leave out is an entirely different matter. And - jazz has lowered the bar over the last @40 years so you no longer need an original voice.

[@osianox]

They play the 3rd note of the melody on the beat. It's supposed to be anticipated. As far as I'm concerned, that nullifies his entire solo, and everything he's ever played since. Unforgivable. AND I could beat him in an arm wrestle. At that age I mean. When he was 14 and if I was my present age of 41. In that hypothetical scenario, I might win.

[@mattdavis9801]

Ha ha!

[@davischong6078]

tbh

[@hannes4971]

Hello Osian Roberts, haha, stumbled upon your comment browsing KZbin. You've been my sax teacher at Prague Jazz workshop 2003 and I still play! Thanks for your lessons, you taught us Sack of Whoe and some other tunes by ear. Took me 15 more years to figure out that learning by ear is actually REALLY important, so that's what I do now. Being almost 32. I'm 32 soon. And Chris was 14. Oh my god. Im such a looser. Anyways, best regards Hannes from Berlin

[@ahmedajabi2654]

Lol Chris Potter started playing the saxophone at the age of 14. This cant be true!!!

[@DihelsonMendonca]

Well, could we hear you play it NOW ?

[@davidarbelaez4395]

Listening to Chris Potter will either inspire you or make you want to quit. You can be inspired knowing you may never play like him but if you quit you will definitely not.

[@sevynmtz]

David Arbelaez I’m barely seeing this and I’m still shocked that you said “ or make you want to quit” 😂

[@thomaskrause7368]

Clearly inspired me! Love it! and trying hard I continue to follow my heroes. Practicing, practicing and practicing!

[@ChrisF_1982]

Can at least pick up aa few licks from him at the very least.

[@jazzmorgan859]

He said in a interview that he started playing the sax when he was 10. He have only played 4 years intill this recording! I have played 4year and would never be able to whip out that kind of lines... :(

[@rodrigobertoa5916]

He was born in 1960 so he was 25

[@leobird8756]

@@rodrigobertoa5916 you must have the internet because you’re here. So why not use it to help you not be wrong? He was born in 71. It took me 3 seconds to find that information

[@hskshag00]

The little hops/fall offs at 1:07 get me every time

[@autodidactusplaysjrpgs7614]

Remember jazz musicians, if you're not as good as everyone equal to or less than your age you are an inferior human being.

[@diegoperaltaruiz994]

Autodidactus Plays JRPGs lol

[@TonyRosenberg]

Truth

[@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458]

ikr, the stundents of jazz today are so fuckin competitive. I'm not one of them, but I understand it to be a very physically taxing and mentally demanding field. Respect to all of you...

[@irumaru]

word, time to give up the dream

[@micheljanssen9524]

Haha, i like that!

[@zachgross3299]

That piano fall at 0:11 gave me chills holy moly

[@jofinsky8400]

gliss

[@wesleycolemanmusic]

@@jofinsky8400 No... They dropped it... Sounded pretty, though.

[@QuevedoSax]

WTF? 14? I`ll just go over the bridge and jump!

[@BrickFilmerPowerlolifk]

There's no bridge to this song...

[@gabrielpianolad2462]

Why does this make me laugh lol

[@xgamer-dm2gg]

BrickFilmerPower, 😂

[@bounderby99]

@@BrickFilmerPowerlolifk that’s not the kind of bridge he’s talking about...

[@marselmusic]

this band should do a reunion with Chris sometime again!

[@KeithHenson]

Sadly, John passed away in 1987.

[@marselmusic]

.. i've only found that out today. i'm sorry to hear that @@KeithHenson

[@marselmusic]

Its liek the guitarist is literally telling the rhythm section 'uh guys, slow down a bit ' at the start of his solo lol

[@ISKMUSIC1]

Thing is...when you are on a genius level of something, it usually manifests very early :) Getting to this level after 4 years of playing is INSANE! Not even talking about the command of the instrument, harmony & rhythm. His phrasing is SICK!

[@SokratisVotskos]

No one noticed percussionist Jim hall? Reminds me of when Miles Davis toured with a saxophonist named Bill Evans while already he have had records with Bill Evans the legend.

[@sc9604]

Kai Burns I know this is a year old but read the original post lol

[@ericschultz6539]

But the real synchronicity is that Chris Potter played with 'real' Jim Hall too.

[@Rock-Bottem1982]

I think that many Saxophonists after completing an education in college would want to be at this type of playing level...Chris Potter is only 14 in this recording, at 14, I think I was still sucking my thumb...Wait, listening to this recording makes me want to suck my thumb, and put my Sax back in the closet forever

[@curiousfurious5877]

I sold my Sax two weeks ago, now i know why....

[@chrispotter3190]

Ends the solo on the flat 5. Only Chris potter

[@xyvd]

Haha didn't notice that before

[@xyvd]

oh wow i didn't know that

[@hskshag00]

At 14 years of age too. What kind of twisted 14 year old thinks of ending on a flat 5 lol

[@chrispotter3190]

L Ron Howard idek dude. He’s a freak and always has been

[@hskshag00]

2:00 Guitarist: well fuck how do I follow up a fucking 14 year old that just did that

[@marselmusic]

and the whole band starts speeding up too not to mention that lol

[@onesyphorus]

damn, i remember seeing this a few months after it came oout. i was 14 myself, and was like "i wish i could be half as good as that". fast forward 5-6 years on, i'm not, but it's still helped me working hard at whatever i'm tryna do

[@georgeramos5227]

How you do that at 14...he’s insane

[@MrArielk70]

14 years old??? insane!!!

[@latinkeys1]

Is he playing alto? Dang he was incredible at that age!

[@joshistyping]

I'm just trying to play along with the goddamn chords!

[@freddylebanon]

Sounds like Phil woods swallowed an adolescent Chris potter pill..nice

[@johnlindstrom9994]

Agreed. Reminds me of early Woods!

[@hansongoldwin]

1:20

[@syu.g6]

I started to play "jazz drum" a year ago,and I'm 15 years old. it makes me want to practice.

[@alejandrosoza8006]

Holy mother of fucking shieeeeeet what the actual fuuuck how can you be so damn good at such a young age

[@deadboss1193]

Cole Palensky simply amazing

[@natmcveigh3904]

that line at literally everywhere

[@marselmusic]

it sounds so perfect 11/10

[@nukebuster]

Hey do you think that was a lick he prepared before or a lick he made on the spot? (regardless it's just amazing!)

すごすぎるやろ…大学からJAZZを知った自分としては

Aaaaand I quit

[@nicholasheide688]

I honestly prefer this to his later stuff

[@travelingman9763]

Not normal! Genius!

[@Coderedpirate]

I think he said he only had been playing sax for a year. Shows what talent + hard work does for someone

[@paxwallacejazz]

14 geez

[@eelamite]

that guitarist must be haunted for years... like, nearly 50 years now..

[@costalina1925]

Killer....

[@diegoperaltaruiz994]

Holy fuck

[@eelamite]

honestly the end of the guitar solo is nice . i just feel bad because he got overshadowed. hell, i'd kill to even be jim mings

Is it possible to play like this after just 4 years of playing saxophone?? I dont think so.

Though rare, there are many such gifted savants. A modern Mozart!

lol metalheads usually like jazz though

Probably anime music tiktok kids or nba young boy perm kids

lol hiphopheads usually love jazz tho​@@luvzrsvpsheets9713

[@marselmusic]

this is a soprano sax he's playing right??

[@thechunkytrucker5111]

yes

[@ChrisDragotta]

No, it's alto.

[@marselmusic]

yeah I just realised

[@thechunkytrucker5111]

oh youre right, that range is a bit too low for soprano, youd think hed hit some higher notes.

[@marselmusic]

yeah after listening to this song over a billion times, I've realised the tone sounds more altoish.

[@handdancin]

that guitarist kind of gets owned, not that i could do better.

[@handdancin]

jim mings

[@marselmusic]

but i kinda like his solo, especially towards the end... he just had a little trouble to start it off, not to mention Potter ends his solo on a b5....

[@estebanvenegas89]

clickbait

[@flybselekta5375]

Dude you don't "destroy" a song i mean jfc

[@hskshag00]

You live under a rock dude? It’s not exactly rare in modern English lexicon to say you “destroyed” something when you did it extremely well. And judging by the rest of the comments everyone else is here familiar with it

[@Manuscript4]

Very fast, high, and loud... Great, well done... It's like listening to a fucking wasp. Give me Hank Mobley any day.
