Check your cool points at the door and just sit with Natives for a while. Let Peter Kater's improvisational new age piano take you by the hand and lead you into the world of Navajo flautist R. Carlos Nakai. It's a world they share on this 1990 release, and while it's not a world that I want to live in all the time (let's be honest: no riffs)....it's a world I don't mind escaping to. Old person new age recordings are kinda for the birds, but if you look closely you will find more than a few that are well worth you time (and submission). You dig bird sounds? You dig heartfelt instrumental montages? Then this might just be one of those few. It's Saturday and if you're in the northern hemisphere it might be a little chilly so....fuck it. Relax.

this is a bit toooooo new age-y for me, but i've been really getting into R. Carlos Nakai's jazz quartet recordings where he's (mostly) playing native flute with a free-ish post-bop group. it's wild. a clash on the level of rufus harley playing jazz bagpipe. there's so many styles thrown into their melting pot that it frequently melts my damn face off. just FYI. i think mostof the recordings are on bandcamp.
