No need to be personal, Calum. And I was only there for the afternoon.

A few copies of this:

turned up in a variety of Windsor charity shops a few years ago. Prices ranged from £1.99 to £3.99. I bought three sets and passed two of them on to other contributors to the old BBC Radio 3 Forum. Best listened to straight through (after ripping and compiling onto an audio DVD).

Yoshikazu's playing never fails for me

always had a suspicion that Ornette Coleman started out in such an ensemble way down south in Texas

Yoshikazu's playing does it for me too thanks MrGongGong

A bit closer to home, one of my favourite records of last year was 'Wooden Flute and Whistle' by Calum Stewart and Lauren MacColl - can't find any on Toob, but here's a spotty link.

A little concerned, and don't know the answer, whether Indian flute music is composed or performed with purely musical factors in mind, or whethrr there is an aim to induce a religious mood, bearing in mind the deep symbolism of the flute in Hinduism. Having said that, don't think I have seen a flute played when the Hari Krishna sect process along Oxford Street!
Enjoyed the wooden flute btw.

Excuse my wittering on........

I don't think Hariprasad Chaurasia's all-night roof-top performances have any immediate connection with the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Note, for instance, the different transliteration ("Hari" ranther than "Hare" as used by the ISKC).
