The NY JAZZ FLUTET is a unique, in-demand, cooperative group of flutists who have defined a new sound. Individually leaders of their own ensembles, the FLUTET has embraced Jazz, Latin, World Beat, and Classical Musics as versatile entities.

Described as highly professional and elegant, this core group of 4 multi-flutists plus percussionist (who also occasionally plays flute) provides a lush, musical mixture that is well suited for upscale venues and events.

The repertoire includes Jazz greats such as Clifford Brown, Dizzy Gillespie, and Duke Ellington as well as originals by the members.

Chip Shelton's WFC was likely the first Flute Orchestra in the Jazz World. It was the precursor to today's NY Jazz Flutet; and, the soon-to-be- dubuted, NY Jazz Flutet XXL

The NY JAZZ FLUTET is a unique, in-demand, cooperative group of flutists who have defined a new sound.

Individually leaders of their own ensembles, the Flutet has embraced Jazz, Latin, World Beat, and Classical Musics as versatile entities. Described as highly professional and elegant, this core group of 4 multi-flutists plus percussionist (who also occasionally plays flute) provides a lush, musical mixture that’s well suited for all upscale venues and events.

Beside featuring almost the entire flute family, from Piccolo to Contrabass Flute, members sing and/or provide piano accompaniment on select arrangements. On special occasion, the ensemble will expand (The NY JAZZ FLUTET XXL) to include up to 8 additional flutists; 5 piece rhythm section (piano, bass, guitar, percussion, drums); a female & a male vocalist.

The NY Jazz Flutet repertoire includes jazz composers such as Clifford Brown, Horace Silver, and Duke Ellington; classical composers such as Bach, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky; and originals by ensemble members.

“Everyone so enjoyed your unusual combination of flutes. What a curious treat!!!
Margaret Moulton!, Hudson River Museum!, Yonkers, NY
