Jeremy Steig - Flute Fever

2013 U.S. CD release.

Released 50 years ago, "Flute Fever" has, until now, been a hard-to-find underground classic. Now available on CD, it has been lovingly restored with a gorgeous mini-jacket exactly duplicating the original Columbia LP cover and features spectacular fidelity, derived directly from the original master tapes. Accompanying Jeremy is the brilliant Denny Zeitlin on piano, spontaneously interacting with the other musicians while laying out perfectly structured, linear solos that enhance this magical recording date. Jeremy Steig's "Flute Fever" is probably the finest straight-ahead flute performance in jazz. It surely is one of the most exciting and original performances ever on the instrument.
