Shoji plays Haru No Umi by Miyagi

[brew1138]

I first heard this song on a Bud Shank, a jazz flutist, album (LP!) years ago. He played it with blind koto player Kimio Eto. It just knocked me OUT!

The album was "Koto & Flute" on World Pacific Records, WP-1424. Way out.

How great that Youtube has various version of it now. Thank you!!

I have been searching for sheet music for this since I first heard this on classical flute. Anyone know where I can find it?

[yowatta]

You can find the sheet music on eBay. Search for "Haru no Umi".

This is going straight on my favorite list! I've always wanted to play the Shakuhachi!

Another Wonderful piece! As a Shakuhachi player of just one year i'm always inspired by such plaing! Thank you again for sharing! Is a CD available of these pieces?
