@valachmar Seamus is right. (We went to the concert together.) Your version is amazing and is currently my favorite song. I've played it at least five times in the past two days. Chick should make you a part of his band.
Hey I think you're truly a great musician but PLEASE answer this questions: Which Aebersold volume are you using? About ten people have asked this and I can't find the answer!!!

Very Nice Indeed... How I wish YouTube was around back in 1999 when I played this in College on lots of my peers Final Jury (Recital).... I would have stole many of your solo licks! Brings back memories! Great Job!
I have to play a solo for this song on flute too, and I need help. I just can't think of anything to play, but I think that's my problem. I think too much while improvising in jazz. Can you send me a message on youtube about some things I could do?
This is awesome. Your sound and technique is mindblowing.
But I don't understand why you are using your left in the very beginning. It doesn't make any sense to me to use the left hand at those tones you are playing in the very beginning.
It's the 3rd octave right ? I might have misunderstood something, but right now I can only get those tones by opening vents in the right hand. hmm best regards
I play flute and that is a fairly difficult piece to blow. Give the man a standing ovation because I think he was flawless!
Jam on brother, JAM ON!!!! Mike in Seatown......If you like the flute, listen to Hubert Laws Jr., and Jeremy Stieg.....they rule the jazz flute world! Shalom!!
in Hungary, Horgas Eszter, a celebrated lady flute player cannot play like this...and this is not a compliment for You rather a sad thing related to her...but You absolutely sound great and fully of pession Thank You
I am trying to learn this song for a jazz ensemble audition. anyone know where i can get free sheet music or at least sheet music where i don't have to pay $50. Oh, and he was really good.
@valachmar : thats real great and perfectly played - the only thing to criticise: its not Aebersold - it's Hl Leonhard play along - it took me half a year to find out -- but now I can try it myself :-) thanks!!!
The only thing I don't like about this is the excess of reverb on the flute sound. Great solo just flags a little at the end but thats understandable considering the length. I'd certainly buy an album of this Guys work.
awesome! i'm learning the same song but in clarinet version... still trying to get it up to speed but now i'll be looking at this for examples... great job
i love the sound... can't wait to here what i sound like ha-ha
Why the hell would he go through the trouble of learning the fingerings for this whole recorded improvisation if it was fake? Transcribe the shit he's playing, you'll see the fingerings he's using correspond exactly to what's coming out. Ask a flute player if you don't agree.
That was so awesome dude! I'm was asked to go play flute on Spain so I searched it up for help, and that just hit it! Thanks and again, that was AWESOME! =D
ugghh, boring. Is jazz dead yet? Already done better by Hubert Laws. Your soloing sounds like a formula for sleep. This is what Miles called Flute Jazz....not a compliment.
He said something like.. Hello from Mexico. Excellent work.. Something about much sentiment, creative and.. Idunno what else, but he said you're a master.
It was okay. Keep up the good work! :)

This is a great video! You sound really swell. I have a quick question though:

I have been looking for Chick Corea sheet music everywhere and I can't find one that has 500 Miles High and Spain on it.
It would really help me out if you could tell me which Aebersold book you're using.

"... I don't know how but there's stuff here you didn't do. You can't reach that many octaves on the Flute. "
yes you CAN reach that many octaves.
lowest is middle C,
3 octaves above that is the highest C,
and I can go to the Fsharp above that and i know someone who can get to the B above that.
so i suggest you SHUTUP!!!!
HOW IS IT FAKE
around the 3.30 ISH mark the runs, you can tell they;re not fake.
