"Finally, a book of transcriptions of one of the 21st centurys most influential saxophonists, Chris Potter. AJ has given us a glimpse into the mind of a great improviser. There's an incredible wealth of study in these transcriptions and I and my students will have these to work on for years and years to come! Thanks for filling the void!!" - Mark Colby, recording artist, Depaul University, Elmhurst College
