Title: Flute Not-So-Basic
Review: Deserving of far more than the one star that the previous reviewer gave, Shelton mixes musics from different spheres to produce an interesting and ultimately recommendable set. Admittedly jazz flute isn't to everyone's taste and if your looking for a blow-out then look elsewhere. A lot of this music falls into that gentle-flute arena but the ideas are well-conceived and supported by a standard piano trio that has Ron Carter on bass - and anything with Ron Carter is worth checking out - with an additional percussionist. For a stand-out track, try the flute multitracking on 'Valse'.
