"On one side Israeli pianist Shai Maestro, on the other American saxophonist Chris Potter. On one side, a delicately extroverted poet, on the other, a silent one that goes straight to the point. The two artists are gathered at La Petite Pierre for an exclusive concert.
When he was 5 years old, Shai Maestro began playing the piano while listening to Oscar Peterson playing The Gershwin Songbook. "Peterson's touch, the beauty of Gershwin's melodies, and the swing captivated me." His craft, fluid and bright, left a huge mark on Maestro. Far away in Chicago, Chris Potter is already a professional thirteen-year-old sax tenor virtuoso with solid, fleshy sounds reminiscent of Michael Brecker. An outstanding arranger and orchestrator, a sturdy hero of innumerable encounters, he is gradually developing a growing sensitivity. Shai - the poet, delicately extroverted - explores his music at the same time as it delivers in touching hesitations, followed by magnificent flashes, Chris the silent goes straight to the point. These two men respect each other, with a moving modesty. The meeting of these two artists where on paper everything seems to oppose produces a strange and beautiful magic where Chris Potter, as if reassured by the benevolent sitting of Shai Maestro, rounds a statement that remains solid and calibrated. In 2017, the Festival exclusively hosted Shai's piano solo concert at the Lalique Museum for moments of grace, ginned by this lunar Pierrot with a heart wide open. There were wet eyes all over the hall. The recent meeting - equally exclusive - of the two men at Mezzrow Jazz Club in New York led them straight to start to Jerri Hans main square at La Petite Pierre, France."
"D’un côté le pianiste israélien Shaï Maestro, de l’autre le saxophoniste américain Chris Potter. D’un côté un poète délicatement extraverti, de l’autre un taiseux qui va droit à l’essentiel. Les deux artistes sont réunis à La Petite Pierre pour un concert exclusif.
Lorsqu’à 5 ans Shaï Maestro commence le piano, c’est à l’écoute d’Oscar Peterson et son Gershwin Songbook. « Le toucher de Peterson, la beauté des mélodies de Gerschwin et le swing me captivaient ». Son jeu, fluide et lumineux, en restera marqué. Très loin de là, à Chicago, Chris Potter est déjà musicien professionnel à treize ans, virtuose du sax-tenor, avec des sons charnus aux lignes solides qui rappellent Michael Brecker. Arrangeur et orchestrateur hors-pair, héros robuste d’innombrables rencontres, il y inscrit peu à peu une sensibilité grandissante. Quand Shaï le poète, délicatement extraverti, cherche sa musique en même temps qu’il la livre en hésitations touchantes, suivies de fulgurances magnifiques, Chris le taiseux va droit à l’essentiel. Ces deux-là s’admirent et se respectent mutuellement, avec une pudeur émouvante. La rencontre de ces deux artistes que tout semble opposer produit une magie étrange où Chris Potter, comme rassuré par l’assise bienveillante de Shaï Maestro, arrondit un propos qui reste solide et calibré. En 2017, le Festival accueillait Shaï en solo et en exclusivité, au Musée Lalique, pour des moments de grâce, égrenés par ce Pierrot lunaire au coeur grand ouvert. Il y eut des yeux humides. La récente rencontre - tout aussi exclusive - des deux hommes au Mezzrow à New York les a conduits tout droit à recommencer Place Jerri Hans…"

Chris Potter is from another planet. No earthling could be this incredible!!
This is one of those performances that is good to come back to periodically to reset your soul.
Truly the embodiment of trying to remember a catchy song while your brain is melting.

This is a prove, that the best era of jazz music isn't over yet. Jazz music is still alive, fresh, and great. This is a perfect example, that unforgeable recordings are still possible to be made. Thank you guys for opening your souls and wisdom to us 🙏
Potter's sense of architecture is astounding. His ideas are not just brilliant but so well-placed.

I liked the nes version of "saxophone saxant" because I only had 2 notes to worry about, B and A
4:21 cosmic alignment...
shai's reharm on this is magnificent - I love how the melody becomes the bass line in some places
I'm thunderstruck. It's beautiful
6:20 such a simple line, but you really feel like they're simultaneously reaching into the depths of their souls and for something high in the sky that's just out of reach.
Wow. Never of the piano player before but to maintain that intellectual level and emotional impact with CP is impressive, together it’s a blessing
La fluidité et l'invention harmonique et contrapunctique de Shai Maestro sont complètement ahurissantes...
Beyond amazing bro! … when you thought nothing else could be done to this standard 😮 … this!
Really nice reworking of an old classic. shai's contrapuntal piano improvisation is great. A true Bach of jazz.
Both ”Artful” and full of spontanious energy. No wonder with so much talent. Maestro lay down a new interesting path and Potter enjoy and take care of elements as only he can do. 🙏🏻
These two should play together more often! Excellent!
Two Human Beings ! Totally Brilliant World Class Musicians ! Thank You So Very Much !
one of those moments where there's something special in the air, and everything goes right... thank you for giving this to the world
So much intimacy between the piano and saxophone as a duo, you can hear both instruments connect with one another like a marriage. Unbelievable playing from two fine musicians, i would love to see an album with Shai Maestro and Chris Potter one day, i think it would be amazing.

Incredibly inventive deconstruction/reconstruction of this classic standard. Congrats!
Shai is a very responsive accompanist
Just listened to Shai live in a solo piano concert, he also played All The Things You Are and it was great, had to come here right away
shoot, every time this one plays while I'm doing my work I'm left sitting pondering life. SO FREAKING GOOD
my god when they go back to the head at the end it’s just like they visited all the harmonic lands in the vast infinite musical universe and now they are back home! It’s a sort of a release that just pulls you back to familiarity. Fucking absolutely brilliant and powerful performance by these two! ❤️

and the way Shai just stomps on those whole note chords just is so critical after the varying rhythmic choices made by both! after all of the beautiful chaos they’ve created they now arrive back to familiar grounds. It’s just so powerful when they go back into the head like that.

Amazing. Thank you for sharing Shia. Chris Potter is in deed , as you once said , Superman. And so are You. Breathtaking
Sometimes a classical player, sometimes a bassoon player. Chris is somethin' else! And Shai Maestro -- wow -- depth and creativity both in the intro and in comping for Chris! Thank you Shai, for upping this fantastic video!
i love this, they found a new world inside a very old song
Love Chris Potter but Shai Maestro will pay more attention to him in future. All the things you are a favourite with most jazzmen seems to have opened my ears up to him.
Siete tutti e due eccezionali ,sapienza tecnica ,genialita fantasia e inventiva che difficilmente si trovano oggi,avete reinterpretato questo brano alla grande.
Great stuff. Also love the way Chris stayed in the vibe at the very end and didn't feel the need to do a 30 minute cadenza to finish. Beautiful stuff.
All the things you couldn't even imagine in this song...

@@stuart8663 It's a common colloquial phrase used for decades in America to describe musicians, artists, athletes, and others who exhibit a high level of artistry and soulful expression in their field of endeavor. It's not gutter-level commentary, it's a compliment, and those familiar with the history of jazz musician vernacular will understand that.
It never stops !!! Their inspiration grows eternally...👍 Crescendo...crescendo 👏
4:51 Holy shit, that reharm lined up so well with Chris' run. Then Shai fucking completes Chris' phrase *as he's playing it*. Dude has psionic powers.
The improvised score of the piano will be very interesting !! The harmonies that Shai Maestro plays are incredible !! Anyone having that score,I thanks you in advance !!! Thanks
Un grand classique revisite, des harmonies modernes, de l'inventivité par ces deux musiciens hors pairs mais avec toujours, ce qui fait l'essentiel du jazz, c'est à dire le swing.....keep swinging !!!
That intro had me on the edge of my seat! Fantastic.
Love how Shai and especially Chris really dig into that ending bridge chord with the C9 b13
5:36 entrance to Heaven ❤️
Wow, Amazing!
Fantastic, so true and unrestrained, complete freedom, story of the world within one song... I'm amazed... When I heard Shai years ago for the first time I felt there is something special about him. Thank you sir Maestro!
Wow, this is just incredible on so many levels.
