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.

I´m not specialist for wind instruments but I mention my favourite flute players, as I remember some their good parts. My list isn´t sorted by importance, but accordingly I have remembered to each other.

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.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com

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.
