Over the years, bop has had its share of summit sessions -- that is, sessions in which three or four people are playing the same instrument. Prestige was big on summits in the '50s; back then, the label's A&R department seemed to be especially fond of tenor sax, alto sax, and trumpet summits. But flute summits have been a rarity in bop, which has a lot to do with the fact that the flute hasn't been among jazz's more prominent wind instruments; in jazz, flutists have always been greatly outnumbered by trumpeters and saxophonists. A rare example of a flute summit, First Date finds three flutists -- Frank Wess, Holly Hofmann, and Ali Ryerson -- forming a front line and joining forces with a rhythm section that consists of pianist Mike Wofford, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Ben Riley. There are no saxophones, trumpets, clarinets, or trombones in the Flutology sextet -- just the all-flute front line and a rhythm section -- and this yields enjoyable results on three Wess compositions as well as familiar standards like Thad Jones' "A Child Is Born" and Lee Morgan's "Ceora." Yes, some of the standards that Flutology embraces on this 2003 date have been beaten to death over the years, but how often have you heard three flutists tackling Charlie Parker's "Bebop" or Hank Mobley's "This I Dig of You" simultaneously and doing so without any help from sax or trumpet players? Besides, Flutology also unearths some worthwhile compositions that, as of 2003, hadn't become standards, including Don Grolnick's "Rainesville" and pianist Bill Cunliffe's "Flutopia." So one cannot accuse this sextet of having an "all-warhorses-all-the-time" policy when it comes to selecting material. One can, however, see the historic value of the three-flute front line that Flutology brings to the pleasing First Date.
---Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

"The final product is a lovely blend of tasteful jazz." "It's not every day that we hear three virtuoso flutists in excellent form."
---F. Norman Vickers - Jazz Society of Pensacola

"Flutology is a group consisting of veteran Frank Wess, Holly Hofmann and Ali Ryerson. Together they offer up some pretty compelling versions of originals as well as standards. Listening to three master flautists is a thrill in itself. With their own unique approach to the music, Flutology is a perfect example of the importance of the Flute in Jazz."

"This being their first release, First Date is a timely reminder that the flute has no problem in pushing the boundaries of Jazz."
