Bagpipes in Jazz? - Gunhild Carling 2007

[leolani4u]

This is often her final song after she'd blown you away with the way she takes off on the trumpet, trombone, harmonica, harp and a whole lot of instruments, as well as singing.

Her comments; I haven't started yet (while pumping the sack up) after the first tune; is there any other old psalm you'd rather hear - any?! Amazing Grace is then suggested + 2 more and she says: Well, I'll try to mix them together somehow and we'll see...

Awesome to watch her and her whole family live - so multi talent

[raonipaes]

How is the name of the traditional tune that she plays in the beginning?

I'm crazy after this song and can't find anything about it...I have seen many musicians playing this, and I would like to have the partita...

PLEASE someone tell me... :(

[PabloUnicap]

This is clearly a blues (not exactly the same as a jazz...)

[Ricktpt1]

Nice.  Not sure why anybody would want to listen to a metal bagpipe though. ....

Steel drums are okay though..... ; - )

[Asherov1]

Way the lady!

[bibchr]

Amazing lady. It'd be nice to have a translation of what she says.

[Nimue32]

As to bagpipe metal... yep, they did that

[vajrapiper]

she holds her pipe weird, and wasn't trained traditionally.

[acr08807]

This cannot be. There is actually bagpipe music worth listening to. My world is shattered. And my heart goes out to the families of all of the bagpipers I have deliberately run over with my car throughought the years.

[Deathss81]

I have always been fascinated by these instruments.Really beautiful her Amazing Grace.

[adalstan]

holy shit just skip to 1:17

[charlie1pipes]

God awful

[dille71]

Super!! I want to learn how to play like that!

A comment on the info "Sweden, not naturally the land of bagpipes":

Bagpipes used to be played alot in sweden from the middle ages until early in the 20:th century, it's even mentioned as a national instrument in the 19:th century.

Do a search on "swedish bagpipes"

[scottie278]

@dille71 I know lots of Swedish pipers- and I play the GHB -and I am a Scot- Swedish pipes have a great history!

[MrStablelad]

Im Speechless X

[xenusphere]

Schone!!!

[Wintertagtraum]

Jazz trifft Dudelsack und es klingt toll :D

[ClueLou]

sounds like mix of a sax/harmonica..

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

I want to hear "Muskrat Ramble" on the bagpipes.

[XxBOBOtheCLOWNxX]

sounds like a cross between an alto and a harmonica :)

[Funnylady1956]

Rufus Harley started it... but she's good, too.

[AwayWithOutLove]

That... was fucking amazing.

[HappySemper89]

already been done on the bagpipe

[ankamosch]

Sweden actually does have its own bagpipe, the "säckpipa".the bagpipe played by Gunhild Carlingis a german shepardsgpipe and aparently Gunhild doesn´t know much about them although she plays it quite well (not fantastic as you describe her fingering) the drone should be tied to the neck of the bag, that would make holding the pipe much easier and would look less awkward.

[Uuuuurk]

@ankamosch isnt thats a hümmelschen bagpipe?

[ankamosch]

@Uuuuurk it most definitely isn´t a Hümmelchen. Hümmelchen are much smaller. Standard Hümmelchen have two drones, the bigger one still being only half as long as this drone and the chanter would also be only about half the length. but more important: the chanter of a Hümmelchen is cylindrical and has a single tongue whereas this bagpipe has a conical chanter with a double reed (like the reed of a oboe)

[Uuuuurk]

@ankamosch doesent standar shepard pipes have two drones also and bigger drones then this?

put ur right thats not a hummelschen chanter...

[ankamosch]

@Uuuuurk you´re right about that. Standard Shepard pipes do have two drones that are quie elaborately turned but there are lots of practice sets around with only one drone and the smoth bottle-form for drones, known from french bagpipes. The length looks right to me. It most probaby is a pipe in G which is the most common pitch for french and german bagpipes.

[HaileISela]

@ankamosch I would guess it's an instrument by Alban Faust. at least that's what I would think looking at the ornaments on the instrument... he builds some beautiful pipes...

[STNKbone]

@TheTroglodytez I believe that it is a schäferpfeife, a type of German bagpipe.

[catalystdrums123]

she's killin it!

[kermitefrog64]

I will have to say she plays a mean bag pipe. I never would have thought you could play jazz on a bag pipe but now I'm a believer.

[fuzzybeard2016]

What's next, Bagpipe Metal? :)

[gargoloso]

it alrady exist, look for cruachan or folkstone

[Uuuuurk]

@fuzzybeard2016 bagpipe metal already exists;P

[Myrnir]

@fuzzybeard2016 Hahah dude, never heard about Folk Metal? Take a look to Eluveitie, Folkstone, In Extremo, there are a lot of metal bands that use folk instruments

[pinguferrari]

@fuzzybeard2016

Yes, it´s called folk-metal.

[ClueLou]

@pinguferrari thought you said fork-metal..

[Metallicazack]

@fuzzybeard2016

Of course there's bagpipe Metal!

Eluveitie, Skyforger, In Extremo and Metsatöll all use the bagpipes quite a lot.

[cod5x]

@fuzzybeard2016 hell yea

[polypersonalitaic]

@fuzzybeard2016 look up "Eluveitie" for one example of pipes in metal.

[Logaff]

@fuzzybeard2016 Bagpipe Metal -->Folk Metal :-p

[pablolankenau]

@fuzzybeard2016 bagpipes are used in metal... its called folk metal..

like Elluvietie

[zedosblues]

@fuzzybeard2016 check The Real McKenzies - Chip ;-)

[Superphilipp]

@fuzzybeard2016 Perish the thought.

[guerno1]

what language is that? and great to see a bagpipe like that, thanks for sharing!

[josodeloro]

Swedish. She's filling the bagpipe with air. "Asså jag har inte börjat spela än..." = I haven't started playing yet =)

[guerno1]

of course she's filling it with air in the beginning, i mean its great to see a bagpipe playing jazz

[FrostyMiniWheats]

I agree with apologeticsmen, those who don't know of jazz shouldn't criticize. I know many expert musicians who play or sing classically and cannot comprehend the concept of jazz chords and scales, as well as the musical structures of scatting or instrumental improvisation. True there are some jazz musicians who know not of music theory, but i can guarantee that the best of jazz musicians know more about music than most.

[cuddleskay]

Why do the Scots have such a hang up, fuck the lot of you interbred highland talentless sheep servicers

[fuzzybeard2016]

Why are you parading the fact that you appear to be an uptight control freak Brit?

Wanker.

[erwinparker]

not convincing...

[ErdbeereRot]

genial!

[ErdbeereRot]

aaaach!!!! bitte mehr!

[CapoeiraPiper]

WOW

that was the first tune I ever learned in any instrument

I learned it on the recorder at age five and have tried to remember how it goes for a long time.

all of a sudden I remember!!!

[ionannas]

Go Lady Go!

[rwurm]

Tomorrow I want to try playing Amazing Grace like that. Such awesome feel for the music.

[toxiv5]

And another thing, I watched your videos. You have no right criticizing others playing with playing like that. Scotland the Brave sounds like two rats f**king in a trash can. Seriously...go away.

[apologeticsman]

I am not against people liking a different style of music than I do, I am against them acting like they are better than people because they can play using notes and marching in a band, while I play by ear. You can like and play whatever music you want, just don't come to my channel telling me I am inferior to you, because I play pipe music differently than you.

[Bigirishcunt]

That is Incredible really, I loved it.Got to try that on my Pipe.

[thehatmill]

i think i might throw up

[apologeticsman]

the "real pipers" who go by the book & march in line in bands are no talent bums compared to real musicians who actually play bagpipes as though they were actual instruments, instead of some sort of of holy, untouchable icons. I used to like the band style traditional pipe music, til I began getting cursed at and treated like scum simply because I do not do things exactly as they do. In 200 years when the world has marginalized the bands and their goose stepping, this type will be alive & well

[agricolae101]

Dopey,

If you're in a band...play like everyone else...or else you just make everything even shittier

Want to play your way...become a soloist!

[apologeticsman]

You miss the point. I am a solo player, but every time I play a tune on You Tube, I get all this flack from band players telling me how horrible I am because I don't play exactly the way they do. I agree that a bunch of pipers together must play exactly alike, but I disagree that I must play everything like them.

[toxiv5]

YOU MISS THE POINT! It takes much skill to for example, play a world winning MSR with 45 pipers, exacting 32nd notes to beat. Being a soloist can be done probobly better than others out there by for example PM of SFU. I play pipes and i hate it when people like you degrade others because you like a different music style. We march, not in any way resembling the nazi march, and we play for the fun of it, not to be ridiculed and insulted because we can play better than you! (continued below)

[toxiv5]

Pipe bands have been around for a few hundred years son, their not about to go away. Get used to it, and if you don't want to be told your horrible, then practice. god.

[apologeticsman]

If you go to my video called "so can I play for your wedding?" and read the comments there, you will see why I get so upset when people down artists like this Swedish lady because she plays using personal style, and not perfectly like a machine. I never said or did anything in that video to merit that kind of rude, intolerant hatred, yet person after person degraded and talked down to me, as though I had blasphemed God by playing with a different tempo. I have fun, and I am not here to gloat

[apologeticsman]

BTW, I was not even talking to you, but to another user who said that they wanted to throw up when they heard this lady play, and one that said they wanted to play a solo like this, but their piping instructor hated the idea. You took something personally that was not even directed at you. Maybe in the future, you might take the time to read the other comments before you make a snap judgment? I played Scotland the Brave at Old Faithful, when it was 27 degrees outside! My fingers were numb!

[jillyruss]

Wow!! amazing :) and I'm Scottish!

[Darkengale2007]

I mentioned this Idea to my band director and she hates it...

[apologeticsman]

yes, she hates it because it is not perfectly written and choreographed. I'd rather play pipes and sound like feces, and have fun, than I would play music with no heart or imagination...

[Tubalover95]

when she takes a break when she blows it up, she sais "I havent started playing yet"

in swedish :D

[jeff61177]

she can play with my bag anyday, ooh baby how you squeeze that thing!

[seanthepiper]

Hi David ! It's "The Saltarello" that was popularized

by the New York Pro Musica (Shelly Gruskin et al)

I don't remember what manuscript this "Leaping Dance" is from, but I do remember the 33 &1/3 RPM Lp Record, which was released some time in the 1960s. I believe It was their 1st Lp.

[dbadagna]

What is the name of the Medieval tune she begins playing?

[2Fell]

What do you mean by "not naturally the land of bagpipes"? There has been a bp tradition in sweden since ma. as in all of europe and the orient.

[thekakihara]

You can utilize any instrument in jazz

[DudelsackOnline]

Interesting!

[Roboctopus]

Come to think of it, that thing would sound awesome in blues. It sounds a bit like a harmonica.

[uexdrukl]

So I did a youtube search for "Jazz Bagpipe" wondering if I'd find anything....And stumble across this. I believe I have a newfound appreciation for the bagpipes.

[CharlieRutan]

Google "Rufus Harley".

[realias]

My father is her "manager". I hope for everyone's sake (mostly for my father to get rich :D) that her name spreads to the bigger scenes all over the world. She is amazing in every way, and so unique.

[Frenk78rpm]

Very good and very funny!!

[Baobabonzai]

Amazing performance, really impressive and a lot of fun too

[piperman60]

Uilleann Pipe or something like that.

[j0llygr33ng1ant]

Uillean Pipes are bellows blown, and the drones are laid across the piper's lap. These sound a lot like either the Swedish pipes or the Bulgarian pipes (gaida).

[andjack]

A swedish bagpipe is much smaller, has a straight and not conic chanter. Look for user ogallmo for more information about the Swedish Bagpipes and the looong tradition of the Swedish Bagpipes.

I would guess it is a Gaita (Spanish Bagpipes).

[x42brown]

I was told it was a French type of bagpipe. The person that told me was bagpipe mad and played several types but not to any good standard.

[Lederfuss]

It looks like a german bagpipe, so called "Schäferpfeife". The "Schäferpfeife" is a german version of the french "Cornamuse".

[tiritiuk]

Definitelyy is not spanish Gaita.. The gaita with one drone, goes over the shoulder in parallel with the floor.

[Baobabonzai]

defenitively not Uillean pipes, it looks more like a French bagpipe.

[Lidskjalf]

This is a german bagpipe or possibly a gaita galega (french bagpipe) with only one drone. Absolutly not a Uillean Pipe or a Swedish Bagpipe.

[galocisalpino]

this is not a gaita galega and the gaita galega is not french either.

Galiza is in the north of Spain.

[embQl]

what kind of bagpipe is this?

[rayoflightness]

This bagpipe is call '' Flame ''.

[lexlub]

I really like this movie, very funny and very musical!

[winehouse101]

she plays trombone trumpet and bagpipes

[ghostgal30e]

Amazing. 5***** G.G.

[jeannevdb]

[tdub1941]

Amazing and Fantastic! I love it!

5 stars!

[beemafreak]

Just goes to show that the musical intsrument does not decides the genre-its how you use it.

[Tarstargerty]

Bravo Gunhild !!!, I was mesmerised,,,

Quite outstanding intonation.

[vidimah]

great good and fun. *****stars

[f1951]

The best of the best

[burtwillow]

Absolutely the best on You Tube when it comes to music!!!!

[turnerdj]

Bravo from USA (Virginia). I'm a young jazz player, but have seen a couple of musicians master the art of playing Bagpipes within jazz. I know this was a brief demostration for the audience, but thanks for the post.
