Has anyone tried improv against any traditional Irish or Scottish tunes? I do this with the cello sometimes but haven't tried it on flute. Curious if anyone's found any tunes that sound particularly nice on flute.

I also like to sing

This was the warmup! Today part of my day included reviewing videos from my recent trip to Kansas City, MI where I got to improvise with several musicians including Jen Armstrong aka Vegan Queen V. You may have seen my campfire video with her playing her song Beautiful, Powerful, Free. I'll attach it here too. Today I found it and listened to her studio recording of it. Naturally it was a little different than the campfire version! Here I got to "ride out" the ending. I noticed her recording was at a faster speed than we were playing around the fire, and I wanted to try it out and see how it felt. At first I started sitting close to the mic, but then it felt better to move so I stood up and walked a bit around my small studio! I haven't listened to it yet. Want to listen with me and start noticing things you liked (and might want to do more of) and things you might do differently?

Duet me!

Check out the rest of his album, "Jazz Flute Traditions," in the comments. What do you like about this recording? (How specific can you get?) What about it do you seek to emulate in your own playing?
