[@bobreynolds]

And That is how it's done. Untouchable.

[@carineverstraete1375]

[@ChromaticHarp]

@@carineverstraete1375 Very melodic. Not technical sounding!

[@Zxx459]

Charlie "Bird" Parker stayed as a resident at the Camarillo State hospital for six months in 1946 / 1947. Parker had a big drug and alcohol problem and in June 1946 entered the lobby of Hollywood's Civic Hotel completely naked, playing his saxophone. He was sent back to his hotel room, where he lit a cigarette, fell asleep and subsequently then set his bed on fire. The judge sent him to the Mental Hospital. And upon his release, he recorded the famous song "Relaxin' at Camarillo".

Thanks for the upload. I just calibrated my metronome with it.

This is the single best comment to Chris Potter's playing I have ever seen :D

[@Nerdboy456]

Watching this guy play live was like what I imagine seeing Mozart live, or watching Picasso paint something, or Da Vinci make something. Absolute command and mastery of the instrument and just sublime to listen to and experience.

[@chrispotter3190]

Thursday Afternoon yea I saw him at Newport last year and almost cried

[@Veronisonic]

I was there! That performance was AMAZING!

[@roanmccormick4036]

Chris laying it down like a boss as usual :)

[@PabloVestory]

Or how to play a blues unaccompained over ten minutes, displaying all kind of technique, and yet sound fresh, unrepetitive, soulful and honest, not showing off. Bravo!!!

[@wilgreenstreet]

Thans Austin...I was waiting for someone to post a 'closer' recording of this great event...I really appreciate you posting it!

[@austinroutten3269]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@thomasdisalvo4091]

This is a lifetime of listening distilled but beyond that into something unique - probably does realize how he plays upside, downside, backwards, sideways and at and around the circular edges. It is a genius intuition rooted in but bursting beyond tradition. And with a sound that braces a backbone. Modest and half-aware, he does not realize what has just overtaken him, what to him is so fluently natural.

[@stevenoliver9728]

No leaks in that horn.

[@richardwiederman6244]

Chris blows my freakin' mind!!!

[@kevinlynch1434]

[@timbruer7318]

Pretty astounding stuff, particularly the fact that that majestic tone never falters...

[@DIDHEJUST]

[@austinroutten3269]

This is "Relaxin' at the Camarillo" by Charlie Parker

[@petersanders3792]

Thanks Austin....great video this one!

[@austinroutten3269]

+Peter Sanders No problem! Thank you for watching!

[@johnlindstrom9994]

It is definitely a 12 bar BLUES, fairly well disguised by Potter.

[@ChromaticHarp]

Are you stupid it says ‘Relaxing at Camarillo’

[@uamaproduce]

3:32 the lick

[@gabrielzygel1539]

Uama I don’t hear the lick here

[@isaacmuscat5082]

It’s there you just got to keep looking. Edit: don’t bother checking 😂

[@yoelhooper-antunez1016]

[@XU23]

[@griggo22]

Exellent

[@jazzartpoet]

He can't be that great, can he?

[@qbavid3684]

sorry, gig is cancelled - no rhythm section - hold my beer... Amazing!

[@naacharya]

... at Camarillo

[@pajoafonso3490]

wow...

[@zangsax]

I just love when people hear a genius and relate to it like some kind of contest. He’s better, no he’s better. What a joke! Spend 40 or 50 yrs getting into music, deeply into music the essence of it not just your concept of it. You won’t look at music or comment on it in this superficial way any more. The experience of Stravinsky is much more than the analysis of Stravinsky. I’ve done both.
