Lloyd McNeill? (This is Google talking, not me!)

Not Lloyd McNeill. I have never heard of him.

[seeline]

He's a D.C. guy. (originally, at least.)

Hadley Caliman?

Possibly Bud Shank?

Not Caliman or Bud Shank.

[seeline]

Gah!!!!

I shall go bonkers if I keep this up! (ditto for that solo piano cut on disc one - it *should* be obvious, but it just isn't.)

Of course, maybe I'm being fooled (by the Fender Rhodes) into thinking it's a 70s recording...

[seeline]

Andrea Brachfeld? Elise Wood? Jimmy Heath? Frank Wess?

And - my last gasp for tonight - Brother Ah (aka Robert Northern)? (Yet another D.C. fella.)

Not Brachfeld, Wood, Heath or Wess.

If it was easy, a BFT would not be any fun.

[seeline]

Well, Brother Ah is my last guess... (Maybe my final one at that!)

It's not Brother Ah. I know him as a French horn player. If he ever recorded on flute, it was not on this song.

[seeline]

Oh, he's still quite active, and plays flute now, too. (He actually wanted me to audition for him, years ago.) He's interested in jazz/"world music"-type fusions these days.

I have always liked the three albums by him which I have. He is not the flute player on Disc 2, Track 3, however.

[seeline]

I believe you! But I'm running out of options...

My gut says it's really David Ganc or Brother Ah, regardless of who it really is!

It is not David Ganc or Brother Ah.

[seeline]

I was kidding, HP!

[Hot Ptah]

I was kidding, HP!

I respond to any specific, definite, positive guess of a name.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Well, Seeline has mentioned all the flute players except Herbie Mann. So I will.

Herbie Mann.

MG

Sorry, it is not Herbie Mann.

I knew that

I knew that you knew.

[seeline]

I knew that, too.

Sahib Shihab? Yusef Lateef? (Though I really doubt it's him...) George Adams? (just pulling names out of the air here...)

No, no and no.

[Big Al]

I think seeline is just padding her post count!

[seeline]

Nah, just being driven crazy by that track! Besides, Lateef and Kenny Barron did some duo work back in the 70s (says some site, courtesy of Google), so maybe if I keep mining that vein, I'll strike the right answer. (I wish. )

seeline, When the right answer is revealed to you, I think that you will fall out of your chair.

[seeline]

I've had that suspicion for quite some time now, actually.

And I'm sure you're enjoying the prospect, Ptah!

Edited to add: Super-wild guess, but here goes - Johnny Pacheco? Mauricio Smith? Paquito D'Rivera? Orlando "Maraca" Valle? Jose Fajardo?

or - real outside chance: Nick Brignola? (Because he doubled on more reeds than most people would imagine possible, and did record at least one album with a flute track or two...)

Or is it some weird one-off with the late Jean-Pierre Rampal?! (although I thought he only worked with people who played acoustic piano when he did crossover gigs...)

Or maybe Mark Weinstein? Mary Fettig? Ray Pizzi? (C'mon, I'm getting desperate here!)
