   About John Devitt


.. Irish born flautist living and working in the Netherlands. Studied flute with Prof. Doris Keogh at The Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin, and later continued studying flute and improvisation with Dick Gout and Ferdinand Povel at the Rotterdam Conservatory. I've played with various jazz and jazz-rock groups as well as playing tenor sax in a rock band for a while; in two flute quartets (mostly classical repertoire) and in the Blauwdruk Ensemble which was formed to perform the works of contemporary Dutch composer Nico Huijbregts. At present, besides teaching flute, I'm experimenting with creating frameworks for improvisation using computer based programs and sound loops and recording these pieces at my own Overloop Studio in Nijmegen . During the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin I collaborated "virtually" with Christopher Hedge and The Magnetic Poets. The theme of the project was: "One Heart, One Beat, 7 Billion Voices"


Peter Westbrook, author of the forthcoming book "The Flute in Jazz"

has written a review of "THREE MINUTE JAZZ" which you can read here:

Thank you very much for your friendship!

Have you ever heard of Armenian legendary DUDUK (a reed instrument made from aged apricot wood), and how it mixed with a modern Big Band technique!

If not you're in for a big SURPRISE ! ! !

Listen and enjoy the incredible WORLD-JAZZ Mix on our page.

John,

Thanks for the kind comments. It's great to find people who appreciate the trombone and the music we're playing.

The tune "Centrifuge Of Energy" in the player can be downloaded for free. Spread the word to your friends and check back for updates.
