Editorial Reviews

THIS ALBUM WON THE NA HOKU HANOHANO AWARD for Instrumental Album of the Year. This is the fourth album by Peterson, slack key guitarist, and Riley Lee, internationally famous shakuhachi master. This seems to be a musical match made in heaven and one you will treasure in your Hawaiian music collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars When Haleakala sings a song heard, January 18, 2011

Oh so beautiful. I cried when I heard Hosmer's Grove - we had just been there hours before - Jeff Peterson and Riley Lee gave it music! My heart is so happy these two joined souls to create such amazing music. I love it when you play a CD and you believe you didn't make a purchase, but rather received a gift. It is a rare treat, and this is one of those gifts that keeps on giving. Treat yourself to a piece of Paradise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haleakala: Lovely slack key and bamboo flute music, January 6, 2009

Last year we happened on a concert by this duo in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The starlit setting may have influenced our enjoyment of this performance, but this CD continues to work its magic almost a year later in chilly January. Jeff Peterson is a young and very talented slack key guitarist, who effortlessly switched between multiple tunings (hence the term "slack key") for many of the tunes. Dr. Riley Lee plays a variety of shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flutes), which richly complement the sweet Hawaiian music. Highly recommended.
