Ragan Whiteside - "Treblemaker" (2017)
Ragan Whiteside - "Treblemaker" (2017)
album review by flutediary.blogspot.com
Another flute jazz album comes to us this month. Ragan Whiteside from Atlanta, GA, released her fourth album "Treblemaker" on May 2017. Treblemaker is a full length smooth jazz album featuring Ragan takes on the flute, Pretty much similar to her contemporary Althea Rene, Ragan Whiteside brings out a lot of smooth jazz, funk and R&B in the album.
Right from the first song "Corey's Bob" we heard a strong R&B beat wrapped with funky guitar and piano. The flute melody flows smoothly, playing simple passage and then improved it creatively. "Early Arrival" started with legatolized guitar licks, the guitar then accompanied the whole song with excellent rhythm while Ragan having her fun times with featuring saxophonist Kim Waters. "By the Moonlight" sounds slightly Latin feel, the addition of melodic percussion (vibra / marimba?) gives a new dimension to the album. The whole percussion feel comes more strongly in next song "The Sun Came Up". In "Let's Do This", Ragan teamed up with trumpeters Tom Browne to play this cheerful tunes. "I Never Told You" is the only vocal track in the album. "Flute Funk" is another energetic flute exploration that going to pleased any flute lovers. The guest artist is Frank MC Comb, a productive jazz producer and pianist. Thus we arrived in the last three songs of the album. "Love Song" is a romantic flute and saxophone duet, with artist Marion Meadows. "Mystic Vibration" is a return to up tempo R&B beat. Lastly, "See You at the Get Down" is final jamming session with maestro Bob Baldwin and their band. We got to heard the full team of brass "attacking" the flutist. The best tunes in the album indeed.
Treblemaker is full of fantastic smooth jazz grooves. Enjoy the fluidity of flute melody accompanied by excellent jazz musicians. Ragan Whiteside has delivered another breathtaking album to expand her rich discography with "Treblemaker". Grab this one fast.

Althea Rene - Unstoppable (2017)
Unstoppable. Detroit based jazz flutiest, Althea Rene, launched her latest studio album this April 2017. The album "Unstoppable". is her sixth studio album. As we have heard before in Althea's previous works, the album consisted of flute as soloist in smooth jazz. According to my quick listening, Unstoppable is rather more serious in vibes than to its predecessors. There are not many "sweet" tunes but now the band plays something more technical, with many other instruments joined the spot of solos.
The first track is "Unstoppable", the song build up slowly before the flute takes the storm with virtuoso. The keys having some good times doing duel solos in the interlude. "Gypsy Soul" is the single. Also played in slightly upbeat tempo, Gypsy Soul offered a simple themes that a natural to flute. "Now & Forever" is a mellow song, got some most beautiful flute melody in there.Most of the them the keys is a strong companion in the song, as in "What Cha Gonna Do with My Lovin'". In which the guitar also joined the party. Many interesting song in the middle and end section. "I-75" introduced us to sax as partner in solo. The last song "Another Star" brings us back to Latin feel which we have experiences in Althea's works. This is also the only song with featured female vocalist.
In short, this is a strong album to introduced a friend to flute jazz. Althea performances is absolutely breathtaking, tunes coming out fast and smooth. The recording also mixed well, captured the best from the band. Order your copy now.

Tchaikovsky - Sleeping Beauty Act 1-6 Waltz Arranged for Flute and Piano Duet - Free Score
Here my arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Act 1 - 6. Waltz for Flute and Piano duet. I arrange it for beginner and intermediate flute student. The piece had been cut into short version, I omitted some repetition in there. The piano also re-arranged so it's a little bit easier. The challenge for the flute player is the down roll notes in the "ref-1". Piano is quite challenging in the intro section, kind of a solo piano to open a piece.

Ferdinand Ries - Flute Quartets Vol.1 Ardinghello Ensemble
Ferdinand Ries (1784-1838)
Flute Quartets Vol.1
Ardinghello Ensemble
CPO
BUY IT HERE
Ferdinand Ries' chamber musics are on revival. His string quartets are well recorded. For Flute Quartets, we actually already have a full set of them. However, Ardinghello Ensemble put in another two flute quartets for our listening pleasure. This CD contained two flute quartets, in D minor and C Major, and also a string trio. We got to know more about Ferdinand Ries, who very closed associated to Beethoven as he was the pupil of the maestro.
Here are some review taken from internet :
If the number of compositions written for a specific instrument is any indication of a predilection, then Ferdinand Ries did indeed have a soft place in his heart for the flute. He penned no fewer than six quartets for flute and string trio, a quintet for flute, violin, two violas, and violoncello, a trio for piano, flute, and violoncello, and many works for flute and piano (sonatas, fantasies, a divertimento, and a notturno) – more works than for any other wind instrument. His first Flute Quartet presents itself as a grand, imposing quartet in the affirmative key of C major and contains many surprising elements. Here too, as already in his symphonies and string quartets, Ries proves to be an entirely independent and original composer – despite his close association with Beethoven. The Ardinghello Ensemble adheres undogmatically to historically informed performance practice. Karl Kaiser plays transverse flutes from the early nineteenth century. The string players perform on instruments with stringing and bows from around 1820.

Giovanni Paisiello is one of Italian Neopolitan of School composer. He composed several chamber music as in string quartets and flute quartets. These flute quartets from Opus 23 actually had been recorded many years ago. Ensemble Il Demetria from Pavia Italy is the one that brings us the new record. Here the CD notes:
Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816) is one of the key composers of the Neapolitan School, primarily famous for his vast amount of operas written when in the service of Ferdinand IV of Naples.
Paisiello’s instrumental output is also substantial, and it was written for the ever growing bourgeoisie, for domestic use by advanced amateurs. His 6 Flute Quartets are delightful works, full of charming, sunny melodies and sparkling virtuosity, in the true tradition of the Neapolitan School, as comparable with Cimarosa and Guglielmi.
The Italian ensemble Il Demetrio specialises in Baroque and Early Classical music, playing on authentic instruments.

Kim Scott - Southern Heat (2016)
New Flute smooth jazz album review 2016 - by flutediary.blogspot.com
Southern Heat is the third full length studio album from Kim Scott. Flutist Kim Scoot hailed as a new smooth jazz soloist, straight up from the state of Alabama. She started her fame in her previous two albums, "Rite of Passage" and "Crossing Over". These two albums were a success for Kim, and thus Southern Heat is much waited third album for her fans. She claimed that : "My previous albums were chock full of me playing melodies, which was cool – but here my goal was to do a hot album with a mix of uplifting originals and cover tunes people would dance to."
The albums started with a famous Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". Kim had totally converted this hits into smooth jazz version, with the flute taken over the voice lines. As the nature of the song, this flow smoothly and those who young enough to not recognize the song will directly thinking that this an original song designated for flute. "Fantastic Voyage" is vocal song, with flute roled as supporting / duet instruments. Kim Scott's voice sounds right with this R/B song. The flagship song is "Sizzle", a totally smooth jazz tunes with energetic groove. The flute laid on top of the thematic riff with virtuosity.
Interesting turn of event is "Forgiveness" where the flute is a highlighted duet together with acoustic guitar in ballad mode. Felt the solemn for once in this otherwise juicy jazzy album. As mentioned in the official editorial, "Glorious" is hot Latin nuance song, supposedly by origin of Martha Munizzi. And there are other songs that very likely to heathen up your day with Kim's flute playing.
Southern Heat is tasty flute smooth jazz album to fill the void of 2016's release. Kim Scott is one of today's generation of female flute artist, in the same boat as Althea Rene. She actually shared quite a similar styles to Althea, but with her other specialty in singing, the different should be tell-able. Those who waiting for quality flute smooth jazz album, here is the nice one to have.

Editorial Review:
Well known for her unique, hauntingly beautiful tone, Flutist Kim Scott amps things up considerably on her debut CD for Innervision Records, Southern Heat produced by Kelvin Wooten, whose credits include contemporary R&B greats Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige and Chrisette Michele. It includes wild, infectious re-imaginings of R&B classics like MJ's "Billie Jean" and Lakeside's otherworldly "Fantastic Voyage", and a fiery Latin jam of Martha Munizzi's gospel hit "Glorious". Southern Heat also features a batch of soulful, inspiring originals (all co-penned by Kim) that show case her virtuosity as a flutist and increasing presence as a lead vocalist. Among these are the elegant, spiritual minded ballad "Forgiveness", the exotic, deep bass slow-jam "Two Become One" and the trippy and edgy trance-soul tune "What You STANK About This? The set closes with a "Stank Remix" of that last son called "Groove With Me" that comes alive with Stephen Strickland's rap and instruction on some new hip-hop dance steps created by Kim.
The title of her latest hit, the edgy, brass and funk fired "Sizzle" - featuring the dynamic trumpet of co-writer Lin Rountree - has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, as the lead single from Southern Heat was also a Top 20 hit on the National Smooth Jazz Airplay Chart.

by flutediary.blogspot.com
Darnell White is jazz flutist born and active in Los Angeles area. His resume included collaboration with Chuckii Booker and Barry White. In 2016, he released his debut solo album called "This Love". The album contained instrumental flute music and also vocal's one, all in smooth jazz. The highlight is "This Love" featuring Darnell himself on vocals.

Any flute jazz lover should check this album.
Here from Darnell White official website:
Our concept was to incorporate different flavors of music, R&B, Jazz, Brazilian, and Funk. I decided to use different songwriters, such as myself, Chuckii, and longtime friends and fellow musicians, songwriter and keyboardist, Carnell Burton, and bassist Byron Cole, respectively, and, up and coming songwriter, Jazelle Paris, who is currently on tour with Cee-Lo Green, and is also an amazing singer. She came into the studio and assisted on the song, "Meeting You," which was written by Carnell Burton.

Performance: Andreas Blau (flute), Christoph Streuli (Violin), Ulrich Knorzer (Viola), David Riniker (cello)
Genre : Chamber, Classical
Label: Tudor
Release: May 2016 BUY IT HERE
Franz Krommer was another guy who composed a large number of chamber works in Classical era. About 70 string quartets alone. On wind quartets , specifically flute quartets, there are also a large number of them:
P IX: 1 - Flute Quartet Op. 13 in D major - recorded by Beier Mikael/Copenhagen String Trio
P IX: 2 - Flute Quartet Op. 17 in F major - recorded by Peter-Lukas Graf & Carmina-Trio
P IX: 3 - Clarinet Quartet Op. 21 No. 2 in E flat major

P IX:D1 - Variations for flute quartet in D major
P IX:e1 - Flute Quartet in E minor
P X:1 - Piano Quartet Op. 95 in E flat major
that are 13 of them. Some already recorded by other ensemble as per notes. In this new CD release by Tudor, we got to listen for another interpretations of Op. 92 and Op.93 with rather new recording of Op.90 in C Major. The CD notes are here:
For Franz Krommer, as a contemporary of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, it wasnt easy to gain recognition in Vienna. His fate was to share with many other Bohemian composers the label of minor master (Kleinmeister). A lot has already been done to correct that injustice partly through research (i.e. Karel Padrtas catalogue of Krommers works), but mainly by performers. It is great that members of the Berliner Philharmoniker, by championing lesser known works, have increased their appeal. The Flute Quartets recorded here are a perfect example: the virtuosity of the flute part is well beyond what is required of the violin in the string quartets of Haydn and Mozart. The cello is an equal partner; themes are distinctive, with unconventional harmonies, and weave through all four voices; we note characteristic changes of tempo and early romantic touches. The quality of the interpretation is outstanding it is evident the performers are members of the Berliner Philharmoniker ! A most opportune and successful rehabilitation of a so-called minor master.

Lenny Mac Dowell Band - LIVE (2016)
Artist: Lenny Mac Dowell Band
Genre : Smooth Jazz
Release: April 2016
Label : Blue Flame Records Buy It HERE
A Germany based flutist, Lenny Mac Dowell had actively in smooth jazz stage of local and international scene. He released several albums since 1984. His style recorded as jazz, rock and new age. This album, Lenny Mac Dowell Band Live is his latest release, set in 2016. This live album got a thick jazz and rock portion and some notable funk beat. The band member are Christoph Spendel (keyboards), Peter Oehler, Claudio Zanghieri, and Helmut Kipp.
The first track is Flute Power Pt.2, Which has lovely opening guitar licks and constant leading bass line that enable Lenny to laid down a danceful flute melodies. The middle interlude got some bluesy guitar in it. Please Fasten Your Set Belts is the second song in this live action. Quite a progressive rock fell in it with the guitar taken the lead from beginning. Ain't No Sunshine is melancholy clean guitar jazz tunes. The flute enjoyed his serenity here. Autumn Breath is a lengthy piano jazz improvisation in the intro.Overall, the keyboard preferred to be in piano voices, which made the album bit of "heavier", instead of highly jazz sounds as in electronic piano voice. We also got the Latin bits in Tango for Luca. Then we got some hard rock song as in Thai Stick Restaurant.
Landscape comes next, which is back to smooth jazz with the guitar enjoy his whammy bar moment. There are influence of Jethro Tull in the end, where Lenny done Bouree Electronic (well, Ian Andersson done it before in J.T.) but this version got a big jamming session in the end. Also we got Locomotive Breath. a classic Jethro Tull hit.
Lenny Mac Dowell Band Live is selection of Lenny's best track performed on stage. The selection range quite wide, from standard rock to jazz all the way to Latin. The nice thing is, most of the song are extensively lengthy, some hit 10 to 9 minutes. The whole band contributed equally. Lenny did not dominated most of the time and let the guitar and keyboard blast out some of their best jazz licks. LIVE is highly recommended flute jazz album of 2016. Certainly enjoyable!

Blue - Nelson Rangell (2015)
Blue
Artist: Nelson Rangell (flute)
Genre : jazz, pop, smooth jazz, classical
Label : Nelson Rangell
Released : February 2015
BUY IT HERE
American saxophonist and flutist Nelson Rangell pulled out two albums in year 2015. In this review I am gonna talk about one of the album, the one titled as "Blue". Blue is full length instrumental flute album with jazz as the backbone genre. The album featured amazing virtuosity over the instrument. Nelson Rangell who primary is a sax, recorded dozen of saxophone jazz album in which he inserted one or two track featuring him playing the flute. Blue is finally his first album with flute as lead instrument. For your information, the other cd is called "Red", which is primary saxophone album, released in 2015.
As I mentioned early, Blue is kind of album that going to stun any flute lover. The first song is "Little Face", played on high pitch flute (a picollo?). This song provide many fast passage and very melodic. The platform is light and easy jazz, simply only guitar, piano, bass and drum can be heard. A bit of electronic voices in background as well. "Dizzy" is warm and dance triggering tunes. The percussion and flute lead the song from the beginning, a very groovy one. The next one is rendition of Ravel's piano composition "Le Tombeau De Couperin", Nelson Rangell brings many interesting idea on this classsic tune. Another interesting one is "Children's Games", a song that performed with whistling flute. The effects is very atmospheric, we will immediately carried to kind of fantasy world while listening to this. "Peter and the Wolf" is a tune with strong orchestra feeling in it, lyrical and maybe a rendition over a song seemingly. For a hot and funky tunes, there is "Sweetest Somebody I Know", none other than Stevie Wonder hit. This followed up with another romantic piano and flute duet "I Loved You". The shortest song in the album. "Pavane" is Faure's everlasting tune, rendered with bit of Latin percussion feel. "Free as a Bird" is another strong jazz showmanship number, running bass line and unison voice between instruments will satisfied those who like to hear some crazy improvisations. "Ao Mar" is back to movie score-like ambient, with enjoyable piano solos. Finally a "The Magician" is the closing tunes that once again triumphs flute virtuosity to its greatest glory. True to the title, Nelson Rangell is one of El Mago of Flute this day. Blue is a recording that witness this.
