Glad I could help with some yazz flute.
Seriously I lean more to the funk the side of jazz but check some some Quincy Jones (Big Band Bossanova), Herbie Hancock (Head Hunters), Deodato, John Scofield and newer stuff from Galactic, Soulive, Medeski, Martin and Wood and The Budos Band. Yeah, definitly check out the Budos Band.
