RUFUS HARLEY - Re-Creation of the Gods

Sunday, February 17, 2008 at 04:15PM

Rufus Harley is the real pied piper of jazz. He is the first American Jazz musician to adopt the Scottish Highland bagpipe as his primary instrument. He has said the bagpipes are a spiritual instrument as the drone uses the ancient vibrations of the universe. Rufus adopted idioms of jazz, blues and funk into his playing. His technique was quite unorthodox, but yet still incorporated all facets of the bagpipes' sounds. To some Rufus seemed like an oddity and gimmicky, wearing a traditional Scottish kilt and Viking-style helmet. To others, Rufus was redefining the sound of '60s jazz.

This guy is tone deaf. Someone gave me a CD of his "music" and I thought it was a joke at first. This has nothing to do with jazz, a "special technique" or anyting else, it's just horrible. I know brand new pipers who play better. Ugh. "Emperor's new kilt."
