Thanks to everyone for listening to it, and your kind notes. After getting so many requests, I transcribed my solo(only the flute solo). And it is now available on my website. www.sharpeyemusic.com/store All the best! Sarpay
something i've learned in jazz is that the longer the solo, the harder it is to create the beginning-to-end tension and final resolution. In other words, solos can become boring if you 'show your hand' too soon. This is some incredible stuff right here. Legend status does not seem impossible from what i've seen here...
As an 85 Yr old "ex" Flute player, I have to say Sarpay is the No1Jazz flute player on TH-cam. Excellent tone and technique and fabulous improvisations. Sublime!
I am 68, and I started on jazz flute when I was a teenager. After studying for 30years I was at this sort of level - but then contracted a neurological illness which makes playing flute extremely difficult, so I know what you mean. I can still imagine the phrases and lines just as I used to - but the fingers and embouchure no longer deliver reliably.
Wow! I have been playing & listening to jazz for over 40 years, and you are one of the finest jazz flutists I have ever heard. Stunning tone, technique & improv concepts.
I study flute in the University of Arts of Albania, and one day I want to play jazz with my flute like you do. You’re better than Herbie Man! Respect for you brother! With love from Albania 🖤
thanks a lot for the kind note. If you practice you can achieve any level you want. I also offer remote lessons as well. If you are ever considering jazz studies, you can reach me on my my website via contact form easily. All the best.
That vidéo is just pure musical gold. Sarpay, your virtuosity is a marvel here. Bach/Coltrane like (sorry for the shorcut). Watching it ever and ever, thxs.
You make it sound so easy but it is not. I always close my eyes while listening to your haunting tone and crisp, flawless technique.My favorite part is from 2:37.Pure magic!!!!!!
@@JazzFluteTV I studied classical flute, practised like crazy, lost interest, discovered my love for jazz. You inspired me so much to take it up again. Thanks for sharing your wonderful gift!!!!!😘😘💖💖
As a 44 year old flute beginner (1st year) I’m amazed by your flawless technique. You rocked this. Continue the good job on your channel and long live the music
This is singlehandedly the #1 uncontended best flute version of Spain I've heard! When trying to learn the song, I have and will be playing along to this video. The only thing keeping me from subscribing is that I have no clue how to pronounce your name.
First of all thanks so much for your kind comment. And second, hahahaha :)) It’s not difficult to pronounce as it appears ;) Maybe I should create a video of me pronouncing my name 😅😅
This is an example of Classical Organic Real Jazz Mastery as demonstrated by the virtuosic Sarjay.(sp.) After listening to this effervescent performance, I couldn't help but think of the following flute experts: Frank Wess and Eric Dixon Jerome Richardson and Buddy Colette Joe Ferrell and Eddie Daniels Hubert Laws and Mauricio Smith, Sr. James Newton and Kent Jordan Dave Valentine and Gerald Beckett Excellent! Lohvissimo!
I agree with the other comments below me I've been waiting to hear someone take this tune to the next level since it came out. And the wait is over. finally someone with the chops to beat these changes into submission decisively and authoritatively. So much fun to listen to.
Wow, your solo is simply sublime!! I mean, wow, wow and more wow! How have you achieved such flawless technique? Have you ever studied Classical? Or only jazz. I'm so inspired!
Hi Cathy, Yes, I do have 15 years of being a professional classical player background, then switched my career to jazz. Thanks for your kind note! Cheers,
Excellent flute playing! One of the best renditions of this song I have heard to date. Congratulations on the mastery you displayed on this instrument. 👍
@@JazzFluteTV John Calloway here. I have been playing jazz and Afro-Cuban flute for over 40 years. I teach at SF State University (jazz and Afro-Cuban ensemble, arranging). I will be listening to you! Maraca is a good friend of mine.
Hi John, I am pleased to meet you here, and hope to meet in person, too! I work at Berklee College of Music as a private instructor. I haven’t met with Maraca yet, but I am sure we will all come across sometime in near future. He is a great one, indeed! Stay in touch, and stay healthy and safe! Best Sarpay
Again, Fantastic playing Sarpay! Tone, technique, great ideas, articulation,swag, this solo has it all. I’d love to catch you, Katisse Buckingham, and Gareth Lochrane together trading onstage. That would be EPIC!
wow amazing very clean and low tone beautiful speed accuracy incredible proffessional level.. my hats off you sir your one of a kind talented flute player in this world..
Big fan from Paris here! I was starting learning Spain. Then I remembered your Spain Video. Man... I like how clean and precise is your sound. I can clearly hear the precision and excellent technique in every video I've seen from you. I hope to have the chance to see you in concert in Paris! My target is to be at least as good as you one day... So I might buy one of your book on your website. Thank you for sharing your talent !
This divinely beautiful improvisation gives me the strength to continue to cope with life's difficult situations! ...Thank you Sarpay, may your inspiration will always be with you! ❤️🙏
Gereçekten tebrikler çok beğendim.3 senedir Saksafon çalıyorum bugün bir yan flüt de aldım parmak düzeni yakın diye.saksafondan daha zor gibi duruyor.TH-cam da kimler bu aleti iyi çalıyor diye baktım siz çıktınız .Yabancı amcaların da dediği gibi Harika bir teknik var sizde.Bakalım bende yavaş yavaş bunu da az da olsa çalmaya çalışacağım.Selamlar ❤
Hi! Just wanted to say thank you so much for this video! I listened to it a countless number of times as I was preparing for my Berklee audition and always kept learning something new. I got in yesterday so wanted to thank you!
@@kalseymusic1218 Great choice! Once again, I wish you well with your studies. If you are ever interested in studying with me, you are more welcome in further semesters. All the Best. S
Was finally able to pick up a flute (I was tired of seeing "optional flute" on my sheet music as an alto sax player and having to ignore it), so I searched for flute players to model my tone after. Not disappointed, absolutely majestic playing man!
Un solo súper perfecto , ojalá lo viésemos escrito por SARPAY en un nuevo UNLOCk “transcription SOLOS” , magnífico trabajo de didáctica de jazzflute , de lo mejor que existe hoy en día . Congratulaciones!
