This release is part of the "Deep Jazz Reality" series that explores obscure jazz titles. Often the music touches on modal, spiritual, and even psychedelic jazz. While Japanese artists are often featured, the series is a bit wide open, touching on musicians from all over the globe. These CD reissues are limited releases in mini-lp sleeves and often go out of print, at which point they sell for ridiculous prices.
Toshiaki Yokota is a legendary jazz flautist in Japan who is apparently still going strong. He was involved in four 1970 albums, three of which he was the leader. All of his early albums sell in the "if you have to ask you can't afford it" range. While Exciting Flute is the most conventional of them all it still has quite a bit of charm. Its a fully plugged in set, in which his Beat Generation ensemble run through their interpretations of the current pop hits of the day - with Yokota's flute work at the fore. Its all a bit campy now, listening to beat psych/big band interpretations of "Venus", and "Born To Be Wild" but still fun.
