Flatulists?
Easy ... the band was even named after him and his flatulence is the rumor!
Nik Turner
The band?
Hawkwind!

My favorite would be Jimmy Hastings, who already has been mentioned a few times. Someone whom I also like and hasn't been mentioned, if I saw that right, is Chris Wood from Traffic.

I'd forgotten that Audun Kjus was the flautist on Ignis Fatuus, what with Einarsen being a permenant member since Ex Tenebris.

the new ERIS PLUVIA album "Third Eye Light" has loads of great flute played in a softer vein by Roberta Piras. PERERIN's Aneurin Owen plays plenty of fine flutes on their first 2 albums. HORSLIPS' Jim Lockhart plays well, sometimes in the Ian Anderson style. Then there's
ROUSSEAU's Christoph Huste, NOVALIS' Fred Mühlböck, ASIA MINOR's Eril Tekeli, FOREVER TWELVE's Cat Ellen, GRACE's Harry Davies, GROOVECTOR's Teemu Huunonen, HOELDERLIN who had several on their debut at least, HOSTSONATEN had several, ITOIZ's Joseba Erkiaga, KERRS PINK's Harald Lytom, LETHE's Stefano Fornaroli, MADISON DYKE's Burkhard Ritter, Basque group MAGDALENA's Mikel Landa, MOSTLY AUTUMN's Angela Goldthorpe, OLOFERNE's Alessandro Piccioni, PELL MELL"s Thomas Schmitt SOLARIS' and solo work Attila Kollar TAMALONE had several, one off like Jethro Tull VIIMA's Mikko Uusi-Oukari WHITE WILLOW's Audun Kjus SEVEN REIZH's Gwendall Mével |

The only limits are that they play prog, be flautists, and are not Ian Anderson... and that's no small amount of criticism for someone you don't like to compare to others.

Hi,
Hard to discuss this in here since you guys tend to limit the instrument and the so many other folks out there that can blow off more than a third of the list here. But there are some that would fit in other areas that also expand the value of that instrument.
I don't like to compare Ian to anyone else. Except that he is stuck in a time warp and is not willing/capable of doing anything else but the stuff that ends up on radio with 25 second solos by him, before he runs out of breath!
But the list for these is massive. Incidentally, I just got Thiij's first 2 albums (Introspection 1 and 2) as they had been on my want list for a long time. Pretty much all classical music.
A couple of others that also stand out ... Stephen Micus ... Jan Garbarek (though he is better known for saxophone).
In classical music Rampal was the standard, but I never thought he was any better than a buffon. In jazz there are a couple others that deserve mention and probably could blow Ian under the carpet with his 4 minute songs! ... folks like Herbie Flowers comes to mind.

Anderson included, Jimmy Hastings' flutework is the most distinctive I've heard. Wonderful stuff for Soft Machine, Caravan, Chris Squire etc. and instantly recognisable. Maneige's Alain Bergeron is also excellent.

Gonna be a bit predictable and go with Adrián Terrazas-González, I also love his sax playing and what he can do to a set of bongos.
Also, Ian McDonald. I know there are many more I have yet to have the pleasure of, and I will check some of those mentioned in this thread. |
