Great Flugelhorn Recordings


Was listening to some jazz tonight with a lovely flugelhorn and it reminded me how much I love this instrument--such a nice velvety tone. Can anyone recommend some great recordings that feature this instrument?

Lots of great recordings with Art Farmer on flugelhorn.  In fact, I would recommend any LP with Art Farmer.
Hi Sal,
Yep in regard to Art Farmer. Gerry Mulligan's "Night Lights" features a lot of Farmer's beautiful flugelhorn.
Kenny Wheeler "Gnu High", ECM.  Beautiful lesser known player.

Tom Harrell "Visions".  Beautiful Player.

And of course, Miles Davis "Sketches of Spain".  One of the few times he recorded on flugel.

For something a little lighter and pop(ish) there's the recordings by Chuck Mangione.

Enjoy!
