Shakuhachi : John Kaizan Neptune |
|
John employs "short" and "long" bamboo flutes in addition to the standard 21-1 2-inch shakuhachi to express the versatility and flavors of this piece. The blues, funk and straight-on jazz are lovingly combined with a good measure of Oriental soul. This number in particular demonstrates John's comment that shakuhachi is sometimes a way of "blowing Zen."
