Chris Potter (on piano & sax) & Ari Hoenig @ Sunside (Paris)

Chris Potter (piano and sax) and Ari Hoenig (drums) playing at the Sunside club in Paris on August 23, 2011.

[@SidLaw500]

Even on the piano Potter has an original voice and incredible invention and feel. Love it!

[@jputterman26]

Chris is a ridiculously talented pianist as well!!!

[@tiluriso]

He started teaching himself the piano when he was just 6, he added the sax 'only' when he turned 10. So technically speaking the piano is his first instrument.

[@tonys4396]

He's mediocre at best

[@tonys4396]

@@tiluriso So? what difference does it make which instrument is his first instrume and at that age? Technically speaking, you dont know diddlysquat

[@jputterman26]

@@tonys4396you’re a douche bag

[@tiluriso]

If course it makes a difference. Even if he didn't actually master it (or sounds mediocre in your opinion), there's an intimacy that one develops w/ activities that are congruent w/ age, meaning the earlier the connection, the more ingrained the bond, and that is irrespective of 'technique, chops, etc meaning he might not be Glen Gould or Keith Jarrett but he sure knows who to make music out of it... Meaning you dont' know jack shit and you sound like any other internet moron who is just trying to get a rise out of people on line, You're just a nobody joe blow w/ a mouse and a keyboard and nothing to show or to say musically speaking. So shut the fuck up.@@tonys4396

@ocdrumboy Yeah, the piano was the first instrument he learned! He just kills everything he touches doesn't he?

Happy metal!!!

[@SOULJAMGO]

I can totally hear chords from Ari's drumming

[@tonys4396]

You never head a drummer stretch the skins? Go liten to Buddy Rich sometime. All this guy does is stretch the skins. .He has no dynamics and plays a solo through the whole song, .He's got a lot to learn

[@gjbsaxman94]

Wonder how much it was to get in that night
