I play the flute too (im a girl) but i suck haha im currently trying to find the song that i need to play and i cant find it and i cant play it without hearing it and im playing the flute for 8 years now and i have no talent and i regret choosing it not bc cuz i dont like the sound bu because i suck at it and i feel like a failure and im just so sad rn :((
Rob, there is nothing wrong with your sense of humor,what you wore or whether or not your Dad was filming. You kicked ass on that flute and the band sounded great! Keep on rockin my friend, you got the chops !!!!
Hannah B I know right, but it's so hard I be a jazz flute. Especially for me cause I'm in 8th grade and I've been playing for less than a year. There is so much work that goes into being a jazz musician and this guy knows it and rocks it
why are people talking about the crowd? its street performance, anyone who has time to enjoy it will!.. you don't have to be dancing your brains off to enjoy something!
man i watched anchorman years ago. i thought that was cool. been lookin for some dope jazz flute ever since. STIL THE ONLY GOOD VIDEO I CAN FIND. hats off to you sir, this performance never gets old.
I checked out this Vid a few years ago, and I decided to review it and I still find it fresh and entertaining. As a flute player myself, I know that it takes a lot of devotion and focus to play like this. Thanks Rob, I hope like has treated you well.
Glad for the priviledge to hear you play..have a jazz guitarist son..you ar e totally awesome young man..I'll be hearing you for the rest of my lifetime..just wonderful music making!!
Your welcome Rob, just checked my msgs. Need to do that a little more often lol. Hope you're still out there knocking it out. Have a great summer and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Or maybe in person one day! Would love to hear you and the band live! Cheers!
Salut Rob !!! tu est mon coup de coeur de l'année, j'ai commencé la flûte à 45 ans et j'ai vue tes premières vidéo il y à 4 ans. Aujourd'hui, j'en ai 49 et je pompe tes chorus ....Bonne route et à un de ces jours j'espere !!!
I'm pretty sure im really inspired right now. ;~; But I'm not anywhere as near as you when it comes to jazz. I'm only good with classic... And I joined jazz band for the first time this year and I have no idea how to play T^T and improv :c Good job. I'm jelly~
wow. amazing. if I ever come to toronto (I used to live in canada, in London Ontario) you should give me a few lessons. YOWZA BOY! yoooooooooowza!!! sorry. but this is AAAAAAAAAAAAHMAZING!!! eeeek!
katy hoguet Hey...scores wont help you. If you play classical flute - mess around with your scales, get some backing tracks and funk up the arpeggios and you'll be heading in the right direction - good luck and have fun with it
torrent the jazz real books, then torrent the Charlie Parker Omnibook for C instruments, then listen to as many jazz recordings as you can to get the feel right. Jazz usually doesn't follow a score.

I bet during that entire solo he was thinking “man I probably shouldn’t have said that condom joke”
actually he made up for it by shredding even harder
No, you are wrong he was thinking should I play this joke again?.
Sure
What if he actually did take his condom off and he was just being honest. Or what if it was the song title
Aqualung!!!!!!!!
This is the funkiest damn flute I've ever heard.
Darthcraftable same
Yes another guy who plays the flute I knew I wasn't alone
James Galway, Herbie Mann, Ian Anderson, Robert Aitken, there are plenty of us, myself included.
Yayyyyy I commented forever ago but I love all those artist
Caleb my god yes
I play the flute too (im a girl) but i suck haha im currently trying to find the song that i need to play and i cant find it and i cant play it without hearing it and im playing the flute for 8 years now and i have no talent and i regret choosing it not bc cuz i dont like the sound bu because i suck at it and i feel like a failure and im just so sad rn :((
Sorry, i just felt like i had to write it down *now im gonna cry*
Rob, there is nothing wrong with your sense of humor,what you wore or whether or not your Dad was filming. You kicked ass on that flute and the band sounded great! Keep on rockin my friend, you got the chops !!!!
gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Its funny how nobody laughed when he said that he took the condom off. I almost fell of my seat. lol
Yea
Lmao right..
thank you!!! Now I have some gosh darn ammunition when people say flute can't jazz.
Hannah B I know right, but it's so hard I be a jazz flute. Especially for me cause I'm in 8th grade and I've been playing for less than a year. There is so much work that goes into being a jazz musician and this guy knows it and rocks it
that's baby making music that's what that is.
HAHAHAHAHA
That's why he took the condom off.
HEEEY AQUALUNG!
What do you mean by "baby music" ? Even if this is not the most complex music of the universe, the solo is legit.
@@gil-evens not baby music. Baby making music. Biiiig difference, fam
GREAT Solo, incredible phrasing, doesn't get boring for just a second!
Greetings from a guitar & flute player
This kid is absolutly AMAZING!! I am a fan already! WOW!
If only he played the saxophone instead of the flute, he could have joked "no more safe sax".
**Ba Dum Tss**
he has a sax harness around his neck so he has to play sax lol
He also plays sax and keyboards! :D
He probably does, looking at the neck strap he's wearing
bass player rocks !!
I'd never heard of this Rob Christian fellow until tonight. Damn, I'm impressed.
*makes a condom joke in front of a bunch of old people*
Kangaroo Shorts in plad shorts.... fuck yeah take me back to the 90’s lol
those old people can handle it
It's like telling your grandma a dirty joke. The cringe is real XD
Kangaroo Shorts the old folks loved it! They went home and “played flute”
Dont you think old people like condoms too
Wow! The musical chemistry between the flute and the bass playing is truly something special.
There never was, is or will ever be better than this
There aren’t many sounds cooler than jazz played well on the flute! You are a great exponent of this art, my friend.
jesus that bass player is KILLIN it, sick groove!
That was crazy!! I love this! I wish I could play flute like that.
why are people talking about the crowd? its street performance, anyone who has time to enjoy it will!.. you don't have to be dancing your brains off to enjoy something!
I didn't know Michael Cera played flute!
Will To Win 😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly
man i watched anchorman years ago. i thought that was cool. been lookin for some dope jazz flute ever since. STIL THE ONLY GOOD VIDEO I CAN FIND. hats off to you sir, this performance never gets old.
Look up Jacques Pelzer, Frank Wess, Roland Kirk (originator of overblown flute before Ian Anderson), Herbie Mann, Tubby Hayes...
Dave valentin :)

This is Organic Real Jazz being laid out on a canvas of funkiness.
Excellent work, Robert!
Glad for the priviledge to hear you play..have a jazz guitarist son..you ar e totally awesome young man..I'll be hearing you for the rest of my lifetime..just wonderful music making!!
What!!! Awesome flute jazz artist. He makes me want to pick my flute back up from high school. What a wonderful surprise to be found here on RUclips.
yo the dog is so chilled out
Nothing like a good cringe to start a video.
@Caleb see, Caleb from 9 months ago knows what's up
Funky, Groovy, Awesome flute and band
I got lost in the funk and the groove of this solo flute amazing 😎👍🏻
Quite the inspiration I needed, man. Thanks, I'm new to Jazz, and this is sending me on what I believe is the right way.
Proof that flute can *JAM* !
Since about the 1950s.
Awe-inspiring and somewhat envy-inducing. God bless
Holy shit man, this is fucking great ! Keep up the good work. 18 years old and you have impressive skills. And such a groove !!! That's great, really.
Rob, Hi! Super Jazz Flute!!!! Goo-oooD!!!
An excellent melody, but it is incomplete, could you upload it again in full? Thank you very much and congratulations
brilliant, great sound!❤🔥
I enjoyed the music.Wonderful.
Underrated band keeping it TIGHT!!
Who cares about the joke when the music is this good. Get over yourselves
Great job Ron- I mean Rob.

Laura

Fabulous Rob!
that was awesome!!! did anyone else notice the guy drinking orange juice lol
you still active on youtube?
Came for the flute but staying for the bass transcription.... Absolutely insane bass playing Ive got to steal that!
I don't think the shitty audience enjoyed such fine music....
they just froze because they couldn't process such awesomeness.
I mean did you expect them to start shouting about how amazing it is?
Asuka.Langley.Soryu don't condem those whom you don't understand
wow - great - I am impressed - great melodic concepts!!!! my compliments,
Dirko Juchem (jazz flute / beatboxing from germany)

You don't need sheet music to play jazz. You just do it.
Amazing!

I play classical flute for 8 years and i'd love to play the jazz flute but it's really hard to find scores to pratice!
