Live at Abington Presbyterian Church March 8, 2026 Abington, PA Video thanks to members of the CB/Black Earth brain trust Felicia I. Chavez & Kevin Chen Weird World Music – Fringe New Age – Avant-garde Nature Music "It's like solo Jethro Tull ... on Dagobah." [Chauncey B., discogs] "Enthralling, earthy and ethereal." [C.G. Gutiérrez, Willow Creek] The return of the rustic virtuoso woodwinder, transmitting the spirit of primeval nature: the source of live, growth and magic vitalism. This music is a transmission of the power and vitality of the breath as it both emerges from and connects us to Nature. Dark green Zen and forgotten breathing methods. This is a prototypical Nature Blues, written back in 2009 as part of the seminal Mukyoku: New Pieces for Taimu Shakuhachi project - https://corneliusboots.com/projects/m... While this piece combines blues, dirge and Zen honkyoku elements, it laid one of the foundational pieces for the substantial solo woodwind style called Hermit Jazz (bamboo blues, nature blues & hymns) which now has its own catalog of 27 pieces. The rhythm section is contained within the performer and the piece cycles through all the roles of a small group: melody, accompaniment, percussion, bass line, tempo changes, forward drive and a highly rhythmic persuasion.

He is a licensed grandmaster of Zen shakuhachi, creator of progressive rock, jazz and blues styles and repertoire, and a former bass clarinet pioneer. As Philadelphia’s premiere rustic virtuoso, Boots’ purpose is to transmit the spirit of primeval nature through the rigorous artistry and unique tone of the bass shakuhachi flute, honoring the dual regional lineages of John Coltrane (cosmically creative musicianship) and the Wissahickon hermits (devotional nature spirituality). The founder of Black Earth Shakuhachi School, Boots was a featured performer and lecturer at World Shakuhachi Festivals 2016 (Prague), 2018 (London) and 2025 (Texas), World Bamboo Congress 2018 (Mexico), Clarinetfests 2008, 2011 and 2013 and his Sony E3 2018 Ghost of Tsushima live performance has over 6 million views on YouTube. He composes for and leads the world's only bass shakuhachi quartet, The Wood Prophets.
