A strong advocate of contemporary music, Flint has had several solo compositions written for him, and he’s performed numerous world premieres with the Milwaukee-based new-music ensemble Present Music, with the Fulcrum Point New Music Project and Contemporary Chamber Players in Chicago, and on the Music from Almost Yesterday and Chamber Music Milwaukee series at UWM. Flint’s long-held position as first horn with the Chicago Jazz Orchestra has provided him opportunities to perform and record with such jazz luminaries as Clark Terry, Roy Hargrove, Nicholas Payton, Jon Faddis, Ernie Watts, and Frank Sinatra.
