My favorite jazz violinist is still that guy who played with Django. I forget his name, sorry.

jazz should never be limited. clarinet sounds great in big bands (Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw...), flute solos rule when it comes to Latin (this one girl in my Latin band plays amazing solos), and any other instrument has a right to be in jazz since they're related to the main jazz instruments anyway.

I figured I should probably learn flute, does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for in a flute when buying one?

Get someone who's pretty good at flute to go with you. I don't think a beginner would be able to pick out a particularly good flute the way a person who's been playing could.
That's mostly because they're more likely to be able to get a sound out of it at all. : P

Doubling is fun and not just restricted to flute's and clarinets. This jazzband my band opened for doubles with Basoons and oboes and the bari sax player always has his Bass Clarinet with him oh and one of the songs featured a Bass Cornet O_O. Jazz isnt limited to the basic instruments. A Charlie Parker Bebop song is still going to be a bebop song if played on a French Horn Banjo or Bass Cornet.

my friends and i have always been super-open-minded when it comes to what instruments can be used. Once, we took my guitarist's old amp, which had something wrong with the reverb, and we used that as an effect in a song. Whenever you kicked it, it made this wavvy, rumbling, crashing noise, kind of like a gong underwater. And if the audience doesnt get it, well, at least you had fun.
