Maybe everybody but me already knew this, but.. Yesterday in response to Andre 2000's new flute album, the LA Times listed what their reviewer called the best "flute-y classics". Number three was California Dreaming of which he wrote "It gets a lot of its witchy allure from Bud Shanks alto flute solo which he reportedly improvised in one take. "
And BTW In the number 1 spot, beating out The Beatles, The Beastie Boys and even Lizzo, was Herbie Mann's "One Note Samba".
