   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, Ferdinand Povel, Herb Geller and Dick de Graaf 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 . My most recent "virtual"collaboration was with Christopher Hedge and The Magnetic Poets at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.The theme of the project was: "One Heart, One Beat, 7 Billion Voices"

I've just released an album of new pieces:

Hee John, je speelt te gek! Dank voor je berichtje, hoop elkaar te zien! 13 mei misschien in Café Camelot Nijmegen? (Als je de hele band wilt zien kun je beter op 8 april naar Café Mahler (jazzclub in Arnhem) komen, dan spelen we met drums, saxofoon, cello en piano)

Hoop jou ook te zien spelen!

Groet, Marielle
