    I can never get enough of this Jazz Calypso on MR. RECORDER.
    The melody is well delivered; the improvisation expertly combines Jazz and Calypso elements.
    It's my suspicion that the recorder player is also a saxophonist.
    I adore and admire the improvisation - every bit of it; feel, phrasing, statements, Jazz and Calypso swing...

      Thank you very much! I'm just the bass player, but he would say thank too. :) Yes, your suspicion is right, he's a saxophone player! :) Type in his name on youtube: "Mits Marci" and you'll find a lot of videos! :)

    I love this! I've never heard a recorder played like that before! The bass is super tight, too. If you haven't already done so, check out this guy's other vids. His band is ridiculous.
    Also, 1:46 on the bass is insane.

    i can't even count how many times i've watched this. amazing enough just to play the recorder that well, then to have all those amazing licks. once i saw them play in their jazz band and on the sax it made more sense. this is one of the grooviest coolest things i've ever seen and heart

    Felt like I was watching a '60s Disney movie. Great stuff! I think the recorder is very well suited for this sort of music. It gives a very innocent, straightforward tone.

    Great! I'm a guitar teacher from Holland. Some of my pupils started with the recorder when they were a kid and say they hated it! I started with the recorder when I was already 47 years old! And I like it. So… I just showed one of my pupils your video that recorder can be great too! Nice work from you guys! Maybe you can play Lôro from Egberto Gismonti. I made a transcription for soprano recorder, bass and chords, but I can't play it, because my recorder skills are poor! I can send you the transcription if you want.
