MARVIN TAYLOR of COLE/TAYLOR and creator of Band in The Pocket backing tracks.
Richard Schrei is a world class player of Native American Flute, though he himself is not Native American. Richard has received many honors from Native American peoples across the country, and is performing in many special ceremonies with different tribes, which speaks volumes about not only his playing, but his character - precisely since he is NOT Native American and is yet so honored. He actually makes all his own flutes, each one specifically for an intended use. Besides being a great flute player, he's just a super guy, and finally got around to his first efforts at mixing his music with our Band In The Pocket tracks!

CD REVIEWS:
The Pahaana Fluteplayer
Arvel Bird - 2007 Artist of the Year - Native American Music Awards
This is the best work you've done yet!
Denise Taylor - I just loved this CD. From the very first sound of the flute I was captivated. It put me right into a deep meditation. A heartfelt thank you for creating such beautiful music.
Raven's Road
Marvin Taylor, Five Feathers Music - This is a top notch group of Native American style flute pieces by someone who obviously is a real master of this instrument. It is easily in the same class with Carlos Nakai and other better known artists - but this artist is destined to be right alongside them soon! Great peaceful meditative mood, beautiful melodies.
Journey Within
Carlos - Amazing! I play this cd every night. Not only is it beautiful, but it stimulates my sense of love and well-being.
Laryssa - Beautiful, soothing and healing! This CD is beautifully soothing and healing -and truly supports all healing endeavors from massage to meditation. It is slow and relaxing... just the way it should be. The feelings generated are those of deep peace. Wonderful!
Grandfather's Flute
Suzan Vaughn - This is fantastic music I use as background for classes when I do a guided visualization. These meditation are for healing, opening to Higher Sources and learning animal communication via telepathy. Wonderful, magical music. Thank you.
Mary Joyce - I am a Massage Therapist and it was so wonderful of you to play in the therapy room the one day. I have kept a journal from the weekend and you are one of many I have felt had an influence on my experience. I will not forget you. I am using Grandfather's Flute in my practice and wanted to purchase another copy.
Stillpoint
Trish - I enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, this CD!! It's one of my favourites. I put this on when my soul needs to unravel at its own pace, without interference from faster or more varied melodic paces. I'm so glad I chose this CD. It is first class listening pleasure.
Michelle B. - Musical river! The music is a relaxing journey through awareness. Wonderfully soothing. The earlier tracks are almost like a cleansing or a rapid, while you, afterwards, flow down the river at a graceful speed to the end of the CD.
The Blue Road
Brian - When spirit, sound, and soul come together the end result in undeniable. Richard brings all these qualities to his music and his healing that set him apart from others and elevate his music to the category of sacred. I have also known Richard personally and am proud to be in that company. If you are looking to be moved, look no further.
