<\/a>There were flutists in jazz before Sam Most (1930-2013), but not many. He was the first to bring bebop to the instrument. His 1953 recording of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Undercurrent Blues\u00e2\u20ac\u009d had a profound impact on virtually every flutist who followed him, including Herbie Mann, Roland Kirk, Yusef Lateef, Hubert Laws and James Moody. Most made this album for Xanadu during a late 1970s resurgence. It finds him at a peak of expressiveness. The richness of his tone, the power of his swing and his bone-deep bluesiness are irresistible. Pianist Kenny Barron, bassist George Mraz and drummer Walter Bolden are in flawless synch with Most and with one another. From the Attic of My Mind<\/em> is one of a half-dozen Xanadu reissues in a projected series of 25. Others feature Jimmy Rowles, Al Cohn, Barry Harris, Jimmy Heath and Albert Heath. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
