[@steveflowers8859]

Premier Flutist of all time. Mr. Laws. Thank you so much for what you do. Many Blessings and good Health. Steve Flowers.

[@johntatum1951]

So nice to see Hubert Laws in good health at 84 and able to play so well...love his whole family...big fan of Ronnie.

[@chrishayward6714]

I've been a concert flutist these many years , here in France.. While studying with the master J.P. Rampal .. a New York flutist played for me , H. law's album "Laws Cause" .. mid - 60's I loved it.. and have followed his eclectic career ever since... His music , playing.. compositions.. improvising...at 83 .. just wonderful.. I Send you many hugs .. Bravo maestro.. CH

[@owennovenski4794]

Hello there. I too went to study (more accurately a master class) with Rampal. He wasn’t able at the last moment and suggested instead of withdrawing (money was involved) I continue on with Maxence Larrieu, a colleague. What ever happened to him? He was such a fine player but I spoke very poor French and was even poorer as a student. Went on from there, Marseille, to Aix en Provence Darius Milhaud conservatory to be quickly dismissed as an ok technical player but the least musical person they’ve ever heard, exceeded only by my lazy study and practicing habits. Ok I thought, one out of four, progress!

[@danielperroni3884]

Você estudou com Jean Pierre Rampal??? Wow...!!! Que privilégio..! Eu tinha apenas 12 anos quando o ouvi tocando o concerto 3, Il Gardellino em uma fita cassete, e isso era 1985... Aprendi a tocar esse concerto ouvindo Rampal, indo e voltando a fita milhares de vezes, tamanha foi a minha admiração por aquele timbre, aquela interpretação tão marcante desse mestre..! Hoje sou flautista mas, toco outros instrumentos (cello, violão, harmônica, oboé, teclado, e canto) trabalho profissionalmente com música e, um dos meus mestres inspiradores (ainda que á distância) foi J.P. Rampal, para o qual tenho eterna gratidão..! Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário..! De São Paulo, no Brazil..!

[@CampbellSmith-tr1ek]

And what about Hubert ?

[@percyvolnar8010]

Whats crazy is that Rampal appreciated Hubert Laws as well.

[@percyvolnar8010]

@yishihara55527 Because I asked him if he ever listened to Hubert Laws. He smiled and said 'Yes, of course'. And he went on and on about how Hubert's sound is of the french school and because of this, no other jazz flute player sounds like he does. If you studied with Rampal or knew him, you know he only speaks up on flute players he likes and knows you can learn something from. His allegiance to the french school was very strict. But he was a great teacher with a great sense of humor.

[@thomaspenn2475]

What a talented family of musicians including Herbert and Ronnie and Eloise for almost over 4 decades

[@johnwilliams2900]

I have been listening to Mr. Hubert Laws since the early 70s. He has not lost a step. An amazing flutist. It is wonderful to see he is still producing music. I must go out and buy his latest stuff. Cheers!

[@zangsax]

I played a jazz concert about 13 yrs ago that he headlined and he killed it and his piccolo was breathtaking. His pianist told me about his physical regimen of running ,yoga, etc. his sound Ian’s articulation are still beautiful at 84. Im 74 and he inspires me to work on my health and play as long as I live,

favorite bass player ever.

[@DANILOFLAUTA]

The best jazz flutist of all time, my great idol

[@MrPatclark]

I am a Herbie Mann fan boy. Ever since my early teens. Always liked Hubert as well. ❤

[@percyvolnar8010]

@@MrPatclark Yeah, but when Hubert played classical, the strict classical heads who were anti-jazz/blues gave him respect. And back then, they were NOT nice to jazz musicians attempting to play classical music. Hubert and Keith Jarrett were the only ones to pull this off back then. No other jazz flute player had a classical audience in their pocket as Hubert did. I liked Herbie Mann until i began studying flute and knew what to listen for. :)

[@napoleonmurphybrock2546]

MAESTRO HUBERT LAWS!!!! My mentor!!! Without Maestro Hubert Laws, Frank Zappa might not have recruited me. What I embraced and learned from this Master, helped me to complete my circle! Truth!!!! I will put part of this story from my book about Frank on my FaceBook page soon!!! Hubert Laws just is!! NMB

[@danielealfredomarano5465]

I remember you. I knew you was with Frank Zappa and Mothers of Inventions but I didn't know you was a Hubert Laws' student. Amazing

[@astrAtlas]

Eric Dolphy, Herbie Mann, Roland Kirk and the most "classical": Hubert Laws! I'm looking forward for your book! Just laughed again with your Approximate performance!

[@sametriuswells6591]

Absolutely stunning! Very mellow and relaxing! While relaxing! Hubert really knows how to blow his flute to be soo young!! 🎶 🎼

[@jackdolphy8965]

I grew up with his Morning Star Lp, loved it then love it even more these 40 years plus ago. Ever Thanks to Maestro Laws for all the great music. 🙏🏼

[@normanlove3919]

Morning star a Classic! Rare Beauty,! One of my favorites...

[@EduardoSposito-e4y]

All of them are fantastic 😊 Incredible arranges that made feel so good!!!!!I am proud of the pianist Carlos Cuevas als venezuelan musician. I am from Venezuela too 😅😅😅😅😅 THANKS a lot.

[@ChuckSilva]

Wow laying down the Law yo! The band is fire!🔥🔥🔥

[@larry6795]

We have been blessed to have Hubert Laws 👏🏽

[@Gary-cc8df]

I first got introduced to you laws in the early 70s I was about 17 years old always enjoyed him comes from a musical family. Also enjoys Eloise laws and his brother Ronnie.

[@evamarsi4998]

Something about heros, they are AMAZING!!! Bravissimo

[@rajkumarrajamani4811]

SALUTE THE LIVING LEGEND HUBERT !

[@garymcaleer6112]

Nice mix. The presence is sweet. I doubt the clipping was heard in the audience, but rather the transfer to the recording. I haven't heard his name in years. Glad the man is still with us.

[@stephenpopovichl122]

He had a little commercial success in the 70s 80s maybe the long time

[@HermanMcghee]

The Hubert Laws tone and he was the.teacher of a younger latino Puertorriqueño boy of the Bronx Dave Valentin allways said the story in the begining as a Flutist

would be nice if there are timestamps of each song. thanks for uploding this

[@P4RKIN5ON_PRODUC3R]

Love Hubert!!!!

[@eveline1986]

Great!

[@christopherdaly1399]

A song 🎵 list would be nice.

[@bennymoore8593]

Still @ age (84), still unbelievable genius !? ...

[@mannykeller]

I wish I would’ve been there to run the audio for the live stream. It is not so noticeable during the softer passages but listening to this over my studio monitors it is constantly overdriven, the gains are set too high. I would like to get an explanation from the sound technician why that is.

[@connect1affect711]

I wish so too. I had to stop listening, unfortunately

[@mannykeller]

@@connect1affect711 Too bad, me and my flute player wife love Hubert Laws and were so looking forward to hearing this concert. It would've been so simple to get a great sound into the live stream. I wear good sealing in ear monitors and could've dialed it in perfectly on a separate feed and provide top notch sound in the room as well . . . unless there was something wrong on the KZbin receiving end, who knows. I really would like to see a response from the sound engineer what the problem was. I wonder how the musicians feel about the audio on this? They all played so well.

[@connect1affect711]

@mannykeller yeah, I was just listening on old advent speakers and tried turning it down to background level, but even at that, I could tolerate the sound quality only so long.

[@franzjosephamrein2663]

Very nice how he place the bass,formidable

PHODASTIC suingue sangue bom e maturado !

[@FCntertainr]

I played that tune at@ 57min in a high school Black history assembly with some friends on soprano sax. I was out of college a year an never knew the name of this tune. I guess learned it on the fly from the good jazz guitarist.

[@andreaspiga8870]

What a night ! From family album

[@paolostanchi1957]

Voglio sapere il titolo del brano è se esiste lo spartito

[@owennovenski4794]

A legend indeed. Cheers my man. I went on to be a professional classical flute player in part because of inspiration drawn from your performances. Even stole your interpretation of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring … from note to note, and used it! (thanks for that too).

[@RonCarterBassist]

👏🏾👏🏾

[@MrGuto]

My respect Mr Law and Mr Carter! Thank you for all the amazing music you’ve given us.

[@RonCarterBassist]

@@MrGuto Thank you for enjoying :)

[@DANILOFLAUTA]

"Hello Mr. Ron Carter, it's an honor to greet you. While my primary instrument is the flute and Hubert Laws is my idol, I deeply respect and admire your contributions as one of my favorite bassists. Warm regards."

[@DihelsonMendonca]

⭐ It's a pity the audio is so distorted and clipping 😮😮😮

[@bennymoore8593]

For & to the guys in the :comments: who haven't heard of Mr. Hubert Laws. He's the #1 ( NEA ) Master flutist of the world. Meaning united states!

Who is the multi-keyboardist and what is that he keeps playing at the far-rightside near his laptop? A mini keyboard??😮

[@ElfAsura]

I was there and it was deep jazz.

[@franzjosephamrein2663]

It's jazz but it has this brazilian touch somehow and the flute takes you away

[@jeffreyfoster4260]

Que pena la distorsión todo el tiempo.

[@keyboardtek]

Is it my computer or is the audio in mono and a bit distorted?

[@neilldehaan2522]

Such a shame the brilliant man is so badly recorded here (bad mic levels I guess).

So tough to play flute in this situation.

Ironically the audio cuts out right when he was about to say the name of his friend who passed!?! Chick??

[@thomasbarreca6305]

Chick Corea

[@nysaxman]

Why did they cut the audio? Now I'm intrigued about who his friend was. They should have just cut the entire lead up to the introduction and no one would have heard him mention the friend.

[@edwarddejong8025]

Terrible sound recording. A disaster because he is such a great musician. Distortion all over the place. Did they not have the money for good microphones? Or was the engineer a newbie? Tragic waste.

[@andyokus5735]

I think it was the synths. I've got a Yamaha Motif MM8 and it's always very clean. Loved his Alto flute though.
