@@Thorstevens1 Indeed. His interpretation of Stravinsky's "Rites of Spring", on his album by the same name, is beyond marvelous. The album, released in the 70s I think, is, like the original composition, timeless.
I learned to emphasize tone and realize a good flutist doesn't correlate with playing so many notes at once. Hubert taught me the importance of empty space as you climb the energetic release of stair-stepping octaves with a flourish .
This song is so perfect,........it is not only the music,...........but it is the absolute synergy between the players..............they are perfect playing together................they are perfect........It is almost as if they are one person in 5 bodies................This is heaven.........I wish it would never end.............
Brilliant. Utterly beautiful. I was in Brazzavile n the Republic of Congo and a guy came to play flute for tips. I said he was like Hubert Laws and he was so excited.
I heard about this tune from an avid jazz follower awhile back...and here it is years later I am now having the pleasure of listening to it...and Admittedly I'm saying, where have I been ...it's a tune that immediately has your attention: it's a light rhythmic but not imposing tune yet evocative and surely earns its title...The Land of Passion... thanks sir....peace

Sounds so good concerning how long ago this was the way I started liking Jazz listening to my daughter playing the flute while all the others was doing their thang...I fell in love with Jazz band from that point I never missed a Jazz concert From college until today.
Mr. Laws is a hero among flautists. Others also have great technique, but his musicality is unique and sets him apart. I wonder what kind of flute he plays?
From Land of Passion....also on many compilation albums with and without vocals. The entire Laws family are "musicians" but NONE including Ronnie (who achieved much commercial success) even come close to touching Hubert's level of musicianship......although there aren't many musicians that have. He's one of the few flutists who successfully crossed over from playing classical to becoming the most prolific jazz flutist ever.....there are weak links in his performance style......tone, technique, feel.....he's got it all.
Mr. Laws, you take the flute to another level of greatnes, just beautiful, thank you ! I love my flute!
The most beautiful tone of any jazz flute player.
yup im proud of him
He's so good!
Absolutely-
Not too shabby of a classical player either!

Hubert Laws is a Master of the Flute, not only a great flute player, but a wonderful jazz educator.

Claude Debussy-The music is between the notes
Hubert, Bobbie Humphrey, Dave Valentine...all extraordinary flutists...this live half tempo upbeat is an interesting take on the original! 👍🏾

w/ Valentin titled "Paraiso' terrific music.
This quintet is tight!! Hubert selected the best to showcase his work.
Heard this song 45 years ago on the album Land of passion. It all came back hearing this again in 2021.
what a sound!!!! soothing to the heart!!!!Bravo Hubert!
The great Ralph Penland passed away on March 14, 2014. I had the honor of working with him many times. He is dearly missed.

Heavenly! What a magnificent splendiferous jam. Hubert Laws was among the finest flutist in history.
Amazing musicians and Hubert Laws flute is magic!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love this vibe -- like I'm on a solitary beach at sunset, with a songbird trilling a lullaby at me. #TrueTalent
How f*cking good is this. It's so cohesive.
My favorite and the best of all time IMO.
Making music. Putting the flute in perfect context.
And the great John Leftwich's impeccable playing with his touch added to Hubert's incredible talents and band of greats!
Boy! That Laws family is just dripping in talent...goodness!

Thanx for sharing....yeah Hubert is up there with Eric Dolphy, whos an inspiration to my flute playing.
Turning back pages but never letting go of the magic of a full sound.
Hubert always makes me think I'm in a dreamland. One of the first jazz musicians I listened to.
Sounds so good concerning how long ago this was the way I started liking
Jazz listening to my daughter

was doing their thang...I fell in
love with Jazz band from that point
I never missed a Jazz concert
From college until today.
My ears have been blessed
My flute hero, my inspiration!

Just discovered this group. I found their "Land of Passion" LP at a local thrift shop and now loving it!
You should get Hubert Laws' "Afro-Classic" recorded in the 1970s. His Vulcan musical mind-meld of the classical & jazz idioms is brilliant.
Este músico negro toca para los dioses!
The Master.... One on a short list of influences... ♥
magnificient!!!!
YESSS !👍🏽❤️
Good stuff 👍
Incredible flute!
Mr. Laws is a hero among flautists. Others also have great technique, but his musicality is unique and sets him apart. I wonder what kind of flute he plays?
