Jazzen Shakuhachi : John Kaizan Neptune
When people ask where I get ideas for my music, I immediately reply, "from anywhere, everywhere, and no place." This tune is based on a simple melodic figure I heard coming from one of my daughter Kai's toys. The opening melodic shakuhachi phrase, "can you feel the beat?" is answered by the marimba, "I can feel the beat!"
