Editorial Reviews

Tribune Writer

KOKOPELLI is a tone poem based on the humpbacked flute player of local Indian legend. Instrumentation is especially rich, for the musicians utilize bamboo flutes, panpipes, raintree, brass bells, Peruvian clay pipes, ashika, coconut shells, tongue drum, zube tube, acoustic guitar, Congo drum, keyboards, and tambourine. Adding more texture are the natural sounds of eagles, hawks, owls, doves, water, thunder, crickets - and even kittens and babies. Liner notes tell us that the three musicians on the record not only make their own instruments, they actually grow the bamboo the flutes are made from on their own property. KOKOPELLI is a rich work, at times subtle, at times overt, but always pleasing - not surprising since the group's music is frequently used in self-realization and healing workshops throughout the country. "Kokopelli's music brings fertility and abundance to the tribes and to the earth itself, according to the legend," says Terrell Jones, the trio's founder. "His hump is not a physical deformity, but a bundle of sacred objects and sweet medicine he brings to help heal people and open their hearts." If such healing is possible through music, this album should do it. Betty Webb,
