Jules Timothy Weisberg (born January 1, 1943) is an American flute, vocalist, and record producer. A collaboration album with singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg, "Twin Sons of Different Mothers," achieved platinum status from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Career
In school, Weisberg wanted to play drums, but instruments were chosen in order of the students' last names. When Weisberg got his chance, his choice was bassoon or flute.
He chose the latter because it was easier to carry and seemed easier to learn.
He was a fan of
soul music, which had been using the flute in the 1960s.
He studied
classical music before playing soul,
jazz and
pop music.
His first experience recording was on The Monkees' album
The Monkees Present in 1969.
While working as a studio musician, his debut album was released with a version of "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues.
Weisberg has performed with David Benoit,
