John Coltrane on Irish flute
I just posted a video of John Coltrane's Naima to my youtube channel and thought I would share it here! This is actually the first in a series of videos I will be posting of traditional and cover material on various instruments. I have some trad stuff on flute waiting in the wings so I will post links to those videos when they have been posted too. Hope you enjoy!

And there I thought, for a moment, they had found a follow up to his penny whistle tapes.

Re: John Coltrane on Irish flute
Unseen - your playing is certainly lovely, and you have nice flute tone, but when I compared your version to the original, I really noticed the lack of the reedy buzz that 'Trane managed. In fact, despite the abundant virtues of your recording, I'm not sure that this piece works without the frisson of excitement that the buzz provides.
But thank you.
But thank you.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Re: John Coltrane on Irish flute
i enjoyed the clip - i take it that a lot of keyed notes were needed?

Re: John Coltrane on Irish flute
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, lots of keywork involved, the tune is essentially in Eb minor so it requires a lot of notes outside of the basic scales.john wrote:i enjoyed the clip - i take it that a lot of keyed notes were needed?
Re: John Coltrane on Irish flute
i also like your playing of the hop jig on your page, very breathy and rhythmic
