Flute Fever

Flute Fever is the debut album by American jazz flautist Jeremy Steig released on the Columbia label in 1964.

Reception

In an All About Jazz review, Dan McLenaghan commented: "It's a blowing session—no group rehearsal, just some brief pre-recording discussions about how to approach some familiar tunes. But man, what a blowing session ... one of the finest jazz flute recordings to be found".
