The young flutist has distin guished himself night after night in what stands as this decade's equivalent of the late - SO’s early ’50’s bop and cool nightly jam sessions around Manhattan; and has also gar nered the respect of the ever growing, influential Latin mu sic audience that has been making its way into the jazz and rock mainstreams more and more each year. His debut album (MR. FLUTE, a February *77 re lease) brought him in front of the New York community who were eager to hear him out on his own. But LOVE EYES surpasses its predecessor by such leaps and bounds that comparisions have alrea dy become meaningless. The heady atmosphere of LOVE EYES takes off from Michael Gibbs' soaring string arrangements and the brass charts of co-producer and bas sist John Lee. Art’s flute takes off on “You Can’t Hide Love’’ and "Devotion’’ (from Earth Wind and Fire, featuring the lead vocals of Tamatha Agee and Cheryl Alexander, res pec , tively). There are three tunes each composed by the pianist who plays on them: Onaje's “Glass Dreams," Mike Ma ri del's “Pryramids," and the title tune written by Hubert Eaves. Above all, there is the deft flute work of Art Webb. Born September 25, 1950, into a rawer musically orient ed family living in West Phil ly, he wasted no time in exposing his musical talents. Following his mother’s cue, Art quickly put together the rudiments of piano, even a greeing to a few lessons early on. When those proved too demanding, he took up the local Board of Education’s offer of free music lessons every Saturday, settling upon the flute as his new instru ment. His musical tastes broaden ing at a fast pace, he quickly began listening seriously to other jazz flute masters like Herbie Mann, Yusef Lateef, Hubert Laws and Bobby Por celli while absorbing the spec trum of Coltrane, Miles Davis, Lester Young, James Moody, Phil Woods and anyone else who could show him a new blow. TTIUI TVi HI V* mates, namely Stanley Clar ke, John Lee, Gerry Brown, Charles Fambrough (Stan ley’s brother-in-law), and Greg ‘Peachy’ Jarman, Art was breaking into the jazz scene, playing "Afro Blue," and discovering (through ‘Peachy's friend, timbalist Gera Ido Kaplan) the steamy mysteries of Latin jazz. With his friends he made regular visits to New York, visiting Slug's, the Village Vanguard and especially the Monday night jams of the Thad Jones - Mel Lewis Band at the Village Gate.
