Dear Shakuhachi Blowers,
Those of us who attended James Schlefer's concert at the Knitting
Factory last night were treated to a delightful display of shakuhachi
prowess. The repertoire performed was diverse, consisting of
compositions by Rando and Seiho, traditional Honkyoku and even an
amazing rendition of Jinbo Sanya on (western) alto flute.
New York shakuhachi players and listeners should definitely avail
themselves of the opportunity to hear this fine musician when he
performs again.
Which brings me to a question for the list. At the shakuhachi concerts I
have attended (except the Boulder Festival of course) there is a
shocking dearth of other shakuhachi players in the audience. It's nice
that the general public shows up for these things, but one would think
there would be more curiosity among fellow players. What gives?
Regards, Brian
