Scottish Blues

“Scottish Blues” (2002) is a crossover piece for classical musicians who want a piece with a jazz feel for their program – a jazz etude – while maintaining the integrity of the bass flute as a concert instrument

“It’s such fun! Great demonstration or encore material.” – Christine Hankin

This excellent piece fills the gap for crossover pieces in the small repertoire for bass flute.  When performed with the additional bass and drum parts it would be a marvelous addition to any flutist’s concert where perhaps the Claude Bolling pieces are on the program  –  Ian Finkel

A hybrid piece in a blues/classical style. Very atmospheric for the bass flute.

– Andrew Allen, British flutist

The “Scottish Blues” is the final movement in the suite “Reflections”, for Flutes and Piano.  It may be viewed here.
