jim-on-jazz-fluteBecause jazz is a style of music, the easiest way to learn to play it is to be in an environment where jazz is a normal part of the musical mix. This way, the player learns the language naturally. The more styles of music you grow up with, the easier it is to be at home and comfortable with several styles, such as classical, jazz, blues, rock, folk, and pop.

Questions arise like, how does the flute compare and contrast with other instrumentalists in the band? What does it contribute to the music?...

Cutting my teeth playing jazz flute was very difficult because, as much as one practises, there is no substitute for playing with experienced players. Jazz musicians do not suffer fools gladly, and novices may not be treated kindly, so my advice to anyone who wishes to play standards and light jazz is to first hone your skills using ‘Band in a Box’ software.
