Well, how about Lew Tabackin (correct spelling, I think) and Bud Shank,
for goodness sake?!  Or Paul Horn?  You might consider Bobbi Humphrey (*not*
sure of spelling here), although the last I heard of her she was pretty much
into simplistic psuedo jazz/R&B.  There was this Belgian, Bobby Jaspars, who
recorded with J.J. back in the fifties.  Locally, San Diego, that is, there is
Hollis Gentry, who plays flute as well as sax.

Probably lots of others.  Of those I mentioned, my choice would be Tabackin,
who is matchless both on tenor and flute.

My employer, CSC, has no position on jazz flutists, nor on any type of
flutists as far as I know, so these comments are soley my own... Is that
all right, Gary?
