Now I'm not an expert in serious recorder playing by any stretch of the imagination but COOOOOOLLL!!!!

i loved it

That was AMAZING! Can someone tell me what type of recorder he's playing? Is it a treble?

yup, it's a treble.

I can't comment on the most important aspect, which is the jazz end of things - I can't tell what's good and what's not, only what appeals or doesn't, which isn't the same thing .

Recordery wise sure, he's quick, and his tonguing is neat and slick. He can tone bend, which is fun (not actually that hideously difficult on recorders, but very impressive when you hear it ). He's not using a huge range of notes most of the time, I don't like his tone much but then he's probably not looking for that good a sound - I'm guessing he's going for the rhythm and texture more?

For incredible speed and nimbleness, and lots of virtuosity, my money would still be on Piers Adams. But I've never heard him doing jazz...

I'm a fan of Pete Rose. Much more conventional tone and technique, and good to listen to.

oh, my gosh, andante_in_c - you've just given me a mega flash-back....
this was the Pete Rose piece I did for my LGSMD - I'd never found a recording of it whilst I was learning it, so it's rather fun to hear it now that I've safely got the experience past me . Thank you for that...
