Sam Most - Flute Flight (1976) [vinyl>flac]


Review by Chris Sheridan, Jazz Journal, October 1978:
Anyone who believes a flute-led quartet date is a cure for insomnia is certain to be caught napping by the ferocity of Most's attack on the opener. This most neglected of flautists leaps from the stop-time theme into a brisk solo of bristling clarity. And after Lou, Monty and Donald have had a say, Most wastes no time reminding us that the technique of humming along with a solo was pioneered by himself.
It Might As Well Be Spring is a pretty duet for Sam and Lou, while neither Flying Down To Rio nor Sagittarian Samba are ordinary bossas. Bailey's drums rustle trenchantly — indeed, the entire trio is rather more snappy than one might expect on a flute album.
This is a very good record, so, as Xanadu's gaffer is wont to say - enjoy!
