Ben Klein - Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

[nedohamilli]

so ,you can play flute, and then what, it doesn't make any sense ,a flute without drums is just so one dimensional no matter how well you play it ,

[zahavandre]

cool but lol

[zahavandre]

lol

[tacuarajazz]

me alteras...

[reloadsanear]

workin' hard!

[hippojuice23]

sick! :)

[SiyoOlowan]

Nice

[ShantiLFE]

Nice energy..really into the playing..maybe some more dynamic variations would work better..just from my own experience playing like this--at least in a solo context...like the bandana...maybe Jimmie was listening..

[Kivo69]

Yeah!!

[TheloniousDrake7]

HOw the hell does he does he do that trill roll without moving his fingers from 0:52 - 0:53

[ReyEzequielXV]

@TheloniousDrake7 I believe he was flutter tounguing not making a trill, flutter tounguing sounds like that i done it before. Cheers.

[SiyoOlowan]

Nice

[Creepo85]

His body movement doesn't communicate to me that he's trying to be flamboyant...he's just groovin to his jam!

[lukefictitious]

On second thought could be more like ten thousand miles.

[lukefictitious]

When flute players are as good as Ben Klein there is no need to compare them as you're likely to have to travel one thousand miles or more before you find another that is as good. I can tell by some of the coments you have not seen Ben play live and also don't own the recordings.

[AndrewSmith20101]

I LOVE mp3iiiiify it WORKS just google mp3iiiiify.

[Indigo327]

That was pretty awesome. I have to agree with most of the other commentors that his jumping was a little lame, but I can not agree with their claims that he needs to take more lessons (none of them could ever hope to play as well) Looking away from the video makes it sound better.

[VickieAngela]

Wow. Ben - and Trillian Green - are awesome!

Why so much hostility? Mean people really do suck. And for those who think he's spastic and needs to "tone it down" - there are a lot of musicians who really get into their music and just simply can't tone it down.

[ComicSaxProductions]

personally, this guy needs to take the rag off his flute and stop jumping around, also, it wouldn't hurt to get a formal lesson.

despite this, still a pretty nice jam.

[LessNickle]

The movements while playing are a bit too dramatic- the muscianship doesn't warrant that sort of flambouyant style.

[SeracYdobon]

I expected...more. Sorry, please don't boo me down, but I really expected more. I'm thinking, what if Greg Pattillo would interpret Voodo Child?

[FannyEssen]

i watch both.both are differnt styles.both are genius!(IMHO)

[nikddo2007]

Dude has no one heard GREG PATTILLO. This dude is a beatboxer not a flutist. You need to go to lessons and learn to play the flute.

[nikddo2007]

You need to get formal training. That would get your performance much better. You sound like a beatboxer that knows a little flute.

[Muzikman127]

I REALLY liked this. But I'd personally tone down the multiphonics a little bit. Still though, AMAZING

[FannyEssen]

short to say.u are an genius!!

[nikddo2007]

No he isn't. Look up Greg Pattillo!!!

[alecadvent]

Fuck Greg Pattillo.

[nikddo2007]

Greg Pattillo is a classically trained musician not a beatboxer that know how to play a little flute. Greg Pattillo is way better because of his training. Klien needs to go to a flute teacher.

[alecadvent]

Then why the fuck are you here listening to someone doing other than classical pieces if that's what you want to hear? Better is subjective.

You and Greg Pattillo can fuck off.

[bruisedwee]

hot dang! this is so good!

[bugsydee123]

It's obvious you have GREAT passion for what you do. Different, a little over the top but different. You did something on the flute that I came up with when I was experimenting. That goes to show ya. When you think you are doing something original there's always someone out there who is doing the same thing. Some of your ideas are nice but I think you need to calm down a bit. But keep playing.(-:

[mmcoopstar]

BRILL :)

[1bataldbatons]

Yearh, ça c'est du rock !!!

it's so good...

[ironmaiden883]

Jesus, looks like he's going to die. But sounds good, apart from the moaning gasps for air.

[zacangermusic]

Oh, man, intense!

[heathermayflute]

Awesome ~ I love the passion & intensity you put into it!

[bassmon3679]

very nice (Y)

[pyrioni]

awesome!

[a0e0roberts]

Hey. Last show of yours I caught was Oregon Country Fair late Sunday night at the sauna. The mosquitoes almost ate me alive before the show started, but it was worth it!

That was ... way voodoo trance. The shadows cast by the dancers around the fire ... wow.

[FeelTheFunk83]

Wow!

[spitzer25]

Great stuff Ben. I showed my daughter who is just starting with the flute and she loved it. I hope all is well at your end.

Bill's brother-in-law, Steve

[Rentschlervous]

Oh man, I love this! I love the touch of the headscarf...so Jimi. You are excellent.

[tdwprulezd00d9494]

thats baby making music rite there

[cunibertg]

good job man. but why is that handkerchief hanging on your flute?

[DrNothing23]

I would imagine for the gallon and a half of saliva that was expelled during this amazing (yet moist) performance...

[IK1963]

Best flute player I ever heard. Gone where no other flute player has dared to go that I know of! UFR!

I don't know how you don't hyperventilate black out and fall on your arse!

[nikddo2007]

Ever heard of Greg Pattillo people?

[vbv1121]

Awesome! U rock! Ur a beast! (thats a good thing, ur really good)

[jwwetzel]

awesome!!

[moloko89]

spastic but totally cool

[stratocasterbob]

I have not heard a flute like yours since the 70's Jetro Tull. Going on 40 years and the tourch is finally passed on. You are a brillant performer. A breath of fresh air to this genre!!!

[andrewjeff]

it's true!!

[ut12ut12]

Are you still in Bozeman?

[Guitarscreech06]

If anything is to convert people into digging the flute, THIS is it! Awesome!

[rtmtuber]

Great Energy! You definitely have great passion for your music. Keep playing!!!

[spieczenik]

As always, you kick ass on the flute! I am always surprised how cool you make the flute out to be...who knew it could be a cool instrument.

[Vatsek]

Cool indeed.

[jarrodkaplan]

Absolutely Amazing... But jeez what a freak!

Best of luck with thh competition! You Rock!

[ninaflute]

Very cool, good luck.

[flutist001]

Far out!

[flutelearner12]

WOW! Cool man!
