Looking for trippy flutes...

I've discovered that I really dig me some trippy flute solos.Lately I've been listening to a lot of Eric Dolphy as well as the usual British prog.Whenever I hear those flutes come in it just takes me to another world.So I need some recommendations for obscure(no Tull)records that feature flute whether it's prog,jazz,spacey funk,whatever.How 'bout some 20th Century composer stuff too?
Any whacked out flute concertos? Virtually anything vintage and obscure.Thanks.

    Jeremy Steig has a slew of really great flute records. Leg Work is the one I just listened to.

    Bobbie Humphrey is nice, I dig her version of Ain't No Sunshine.

    Rashan Roland Kirk, Blacknuss is my favorite, but there are dozens more.

    Seatrain, Blues Project are 2 rock groups I can think of, but I can't recommend them.

    Check the international section for Japanese and Indian flutes, always trippy.

    Paul Horn and Paul Winter also both played lots of flutes, I'll let someone else recommend them.

    Two out of 3 posters recommend Steig and Kirk.

    Paul Horn

    "Monday, Monday" is cool.

    There is one Nonesuch explorer record called "A Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky" that is really good. Japanese wooden flute stuff. Real ambient.

    "Bhop" has a some freaky-deaky flute on it if memory serves.

    I was listening to Steig's "Energy" LP last week, and I must say, I enjoyed my sitting.

    >>How 'bout some 20th Century composer stuff too?

    Anything where Severino Gazzelloni is playing. Dolphy dedicated a track to him on Out To Lunch.

    Next question: has anybody used the nose-flute in a jazz/funk setting?

    Not noseflute, but two noserecorders simultaeneously. Derek Griffiths is that cat.



    You might also want to check Dave & Toni Arthur, but it's more Jazz-folk

    Oh, he is. I saw him live back in about '81. Tore the set up. I was bopping in my terry towel.



    On edit: It was w/ Animal Crackers I think?

    some stuff from the "trippier" end of the jazz spectrum





    "Kamili"





    "Blue Nile"











    also pretty much anything with Prince Lasha, and some of Leon Thomas' Flying Dutchman stuff.



    Wouldn't call these guys especially out-there, but also the usual stuff Yusef (well maybe), James Moody, Joe Farrell, etc. Can't find a picture, but John Payne's first album (the guy who played flute on Astral Weeks) has some really nice but more straight-ahead flute+Rhodes cuts.



    And I believe that Rahsaan rocked a nose flute on one album, can't think of which one though.

    just don't sample it!



    also any of his stuff on India Navigation
