I have seen this picture also, it was in a book about
coletrane. As for the watazumi riffs its no
coincidence as I heard he communicated with quite a
few shakuhachi players from japan then.
Though, John liked the Shaukhachi, Ornette coleman was
quite the player. When I was visiting my teacher in
portland, we heard a song on the radio where he played
it briefly and it was cool. He played it over
changes. Cant remember the name of the song though.
