Biography

R. Carlos Nakai

Of Navajo-Ute heritage, R. Carlos Nakai is the world’s premier performer of the Native American flute. He began his musical studies on the trumpet, but a car accident ruined his embouchure. Years later his musical interests took a turn when he was given a traditional cedar flute as a gift and challenged to maser it. As an artist, he is an adventurer and risk taker, always giving… Read more in Amazon's R. Carlos Nakai Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Those familiar only with Nakai's solo and new age flute work will undoubtedly be surprised by this outing from his "world jazz" quartet, a band that includes drummer-percussionist Will Clipman, who has played in a number of jazz, reggae, rock, and world music outfits; Apache/Mexican American bass and keyboard ace J. David Muñiz; and Amo Chip who has played sax and keyboards with Sun Ra, The Nigerian All Stars, and Queen Ida's Zydeco Band to name a few. Nakai's familiar use of sustained notes works well with the other players on slow jams like "Honey-Hunters" and "Primitive Seasons"; while on up-tempo tracks like "Mo'combo Gumbo," which rides the familiar Bo Diddley beat, the flautist allows his whimsical side to come through. --j. poet

5.0 out of 5 stars Something new, Really, May 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Kokopelli's Cafe (Audio CD)
I had been mildly familiar with Nakai's work in traditional and in semi-classical formats before this, and then I received Kokopelli's Cafe as a gift. This is a fusion of Native American and jazz composition, like I have never heard before. And it works.

R. Carlos Nakai is one of my favorites and he has really put together a awsome cd with Kokopelli's Cafe! What a sound! Native American flute mixed with a jazz group and it doesn't get much better than this!
