Flute Force Four "Flutistry" (1997 Black Saint 120164-2)

Henry Threadgill, Flute, Bass Flute; James Newton, Flute, Alto Flute, Bass Flute; Pedro Eustache, flute, Alto Flute, Bass Flute, Piccolo Flute; Melecio Magdaluyo, Flute, Alto Flute;

Beautifully abstract flute music. Thinks birds floating and gliding in the sky. Think Eric Dolphy blowing on a desolate beach. Four extraordinary musicians joined together as one. The bass and alto flute provide deep colors and harmonies. Cat 10/97

  1. T.B.A. (5:39) - upbeat. Henry Threadgill penned this one so expect the unexpected
  2. Intersection (6:53) - along with tracks 3 and 4, slow, wonderful, beautiful, superb playing
  3. Luap Nosebor (9:04)
  4. Hymm To Wright Reverend (6:45)
  5. Paseo Del Mar (5:56)
  6. Figwig (9:56) - Newton starts off with his virtuosic sounds, singing and blowing sounds never heard before. Sounds like a lost ship in the wind
