Another awesome masterclass.  This is Chris Potter at the Aebersold camp a couple summers ago.  The best part of this is where Potter describes how he breaks down and works on language.

This is one of the best masterclasses I've ever seen.  Dick Oatts essentially lays out everything you need to know as an improviser.  It's a long one, but WELL worth the watch.

Some great answers to a few fan-submitted questions.  A short AMA, but part of series Mark is doing.  Enjoy!

Thank you!
Didn’t realize I was featured on the website for @maconpops. Playing with the crew tonight - should be a fun one!

Thanks @laurelanneknox for the heads up.
It's been almost a month since Proof of Concept released and it's officially at 100 streams. I love all of you that listened to it because that is the one condition under which anyone receives my love: consume the content I create gleefully, glutinou

Computer overheated and we ended up with what we lovingly referred to as "Artimus Unplugged". This memory popped up and I forgot I had any footage from it. This was a fun hit and I miss playing with these guys. And obviously there's always
