[ NOTE: Jazz and Latin flutist, Bill McBirnie, improvises along with Oscar Peterson on "C Jam Blutes". No disrespect is intended by my improvising over the track. This is merely designed to show how the flute might work here! :-) ]
Good God, this is fantastic. I'd love to get the music and or a transcription of this rendition of c-jam blues...because iv'e been looking for a flute part like this for a while.
Unfortunately, there is no transcription for this.because...it is entirely improvised!... :-)
@@svetamcbirnie903 just wow...looks like I got some work to do then.
The flute can swingeth indeed!🧐👌
...Always use the correct fingerings!...
Thanks, but in the end, I'm simply "playing over" the track...and, in that sense, one could argue that I am "trampling" on what is a truly classic piece by OP...and that is precisely why I offer my qualification about this performance; i.e., "No disrespect is intended!" :-)
Sincerely,
Bill McBirnie
"Daddy; his 'doobie-doobie' is REALLY good!" (my nine year old daughter, on hearing this....)
Hi Master Bill. Urgent question: I have bought a flute 4 months ago. I play the octaves up and down, throught singing while playing and all the good stuff. But one things drives me mad: I play the lowest C with all fingers on the buttons, but also the C one octave higher. This sounds better than the c which is played only with the index finger. My question: Can I stick to playing both low C's the same way or should I change? Thanks and greetings from Switzerland.
What A pleasure !
1:03 waaa what a legend tho...
I do teach (...but I am located in Canada!...)
BTW, James Galway has me as his resident Jazz Flute Specialist at his offical web site and for his Chat Group!
Finally, you can find out a little more about me at MySpace.
Sincerely,
Bill McBirnie
Great playing. Isn't that a bop tune though?
I know that it SOUNDS rather "bopish", Sergey. But both Oscar and I are working melodic figures that are ultimately based on old school "swing". (It's a rather subtle distinction, I know. But that is really what is going on!)
OOH LA LA !! Good stuff!
Man, that doesn't just swing, it rocks!
Very nice!!!

I have been playing the flute since childhood. I worked very hard at classical music until my teens and then I basically dropped playing when I went to univerisity. I picked the flute again in my early twenties and then focused on learning how to improvise. By the way, if you go to MySpace, the last same recording there is a Brazilian tune entitled..."Tudo Bem"! (Thanks for listening!)
This is amazing! I can't beleive how many nagative comments people are posting! Spammers!! This is a great improv. Congrats. Amazing!!
Love hearing a flutist that CAN swing! Having doubled on sax for years, I've always found that trying to swing on flute is sooooo much more difficult than swinging on some other instrument. I sometimes wonder if it's because we often tend to get caught up in the tone of our instrument.....like maybe it has something to do with the way we produce our sound that makes it trickier? :)
i played this song before but this he played was a jamed out version filled with alot more soul and stanzanana.
fantastic!!!!
ahhh, this is what it is supposed to sound like, awesome! Someday I am going to burn my own CD with all this good stuff you are putting on line here Bill!
(...then mount it up...and let's see!... :-)
LOL, ohhh yes you have proven the flute can swing, hahahaha.. Niiiice!!!
Wow, I love to learn how to swing with a flute :)
Bill:
Swing so hard, as usual. I really enjoyed this!

Même problème de synchro. J'aurais que tu joues sur un Abersold que sur un solo d'Oscar! Drôle d'idée!
Really wonderful playing Bill! Thanks so much for sharing this.

0:26
Yeah, i think that's it.
damn cool!
Um, you're not even playing the damn flute!! FAKE!!!!!!!
OK...Then who's playing it if it isn't me?...(Oh. and it is me, by the way... :-)
The recording that he has playing. His lips are not even in the correct embouchure and the flute is tilted at an angle which makes playing it impossible. Come on, guys!
It's fine for me to play from the ass,
If it sounds like this, who cares what's the shape of the lips?
And if he CAN play in fact, so how can you say it's impossible to play?
Stupid comment.
It's me! (...Because who else could it possibly be?!... :-) I am not sure why the sound and the image is not precisely synced. And I admit that I know how to play the flute...but I did not know how to operate the camera!...
