Of Navajo-Ute heritage, R. Carlos Nakai is the world's premier performer of the Native American flute. Originally trained in classical trumpet and music theory, Nakai was given a traditional cedar wood flute as a gift and challenged to see what he could do with it.

Since 1983, he has released over 35 albums on the Canyon label. In addition to his solo appearances throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan, Nakai has worked with guitarist William Eaton, flutist Paul Horn, composers James DeMars and Phillip Glass and various symphony orchestras.

While well-grounded in the traditional uses of the flute, Nakai has explored new musical settings including new age, world-beat jazz and classical. His cross-cultural collaborations have included an album with the Wind Travelin' Band, a Japanese folk ensemble and Tibetan flutist and singer Nawang Khechog on several productions including “In A Distant Place.” Nakai has earned two gold records for “Canyon Trilogy” and “Earth Spirit” and has received seven Grammy® nominations. Nakai’s career has been shaped by a desire to communicate a sense of Native American culture and society that transcends the common stereotypes presented in mass media.

He's a very nice man in person as well.  I had the opportunity to meet him in 1985.

The following cuts are from the Last FM Site, and are all performed on the 4 albums made by the R. Carlos Nakai Quartet. The quartet did a more eclectic blend of music, especially adding jazz influence.  Mary Redhouse (http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/media/local_music/jazz/redhouse_mary/index.html) is a Navajo vocalist on the cuts, and, especially on "Montana Grass Dance", adds a nearly-disconcerting wildness.

(RCN has made many many more recordings than this particular collective's, as the thread already shows. The selections above are probably not going to be as creatively-accessible as the others were.)

The funny thing with these links is that they show up in Swedish! And then I can only hear the first 30 seconds?

Drat! I don't know what would account for the difference. In "English", all of the above were "full tracks".   :'(   Sorry, Jahn!
