The simplest of wind instruments, the flute has been ubiquitous in every culture from antiquity to the present. However, its "small" sound kept it from being a solo instrument before amplification. The flute's history, both in and out of jazz, is reported here by flutist and musicologist Peter Westbrook. This reference book includes photographs, covers the jazz flute's evolution from Eric Dolphy to Herbie Mann to world music, and includes an extensive discography. The Jazz Flute is a salute to this marvelous instrument and cites the artists, techniques, and styles that have made the flute a rich and integral part of contemporary music.
