A swingin' tune on Clips & Snips-Whistle & Xaphoon

Post by LimuHead »

Hey C&F folks!

Tony H. just posted a tune for me on Clips & Snips.

You can hear it by clicking on the link below, and then clicking on "Whistling Jazz":

http://tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/orig.html

It's an improvised jazzy number the band & I (Ka Ehu Kai) recorded a couple of weeks ago that features me playing my Susato D and a Xaphoon.

Comments are welcome...

Enjoy!

Now THAT was COOL!

Great job! That really helps show just how versatile the whistle can be.

You should get one! They're fun to play, but take some getting used to.
I got the plastic version for about $40 + tax! The bamboo one is more expensive.... :D

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

We were in the studio yesterday working on an album-ready version of Whistling Jazz (and other stuff for our 4th album). We're going to keep what we have now, but dress it up a little, and rework the levels.....

Thanks for listening! :D
