Flute Fraternity

Flute Fraternity is an album by multi-instrumentalists Herbie Mann and Buddy Collette recorded at sessions in 1957 and released on the Mode label.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "The most interesting aspect to this lightly swinging music is the constant switching around of the lead voices on their various horns", although The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings criticises the album for the number of different combinations of instruments used.
