DREAMS FROM THE GRANDFATHER is the latest recording from Canyon Records by Native American flutist Robert Tree Cody of the Dakota-Maricopa heritage. This collection of Native American music includes songs for both the flute and voice, while showing the close relationship between the two. Usually made from cedar, the Native American flute is an ancient instrument belonging to the native cultures of the American plains and woodlands. Traditionally, flutes have been constructed to emulate the human voice in tone and character. New audiences are discovering that few instruments are as richly expressive as the Native American flute.

HEART OF THE WIND by ROBERT TREE CODY
Robert Tree Cody is an accomplished flutist, dancer, performer and a central force on America's pow-wow circuit. Will Clipman is a life-long drummer with over 50 album credits to his name. The two pair up to celebrate the beauty of traditional Native American music with this stunning release. HEART OF THE WIND focuses solely on the natural, organic interplay between Cody's flute and Clipman's drum, without any extraneous instrumentation. Cody's flute melodies are filled with subtlety and grace, providing the music with an introspective sense of calmness. Clipman gives the music a primal edge with his rhythmic drum beats, which also lie on the light side, but are very skillfully performed. This is a wonderful album from two masters of their craft.
Award-Winning guitarist Ruben Romero brings together Native and Spanish cultures in this spirited album. Native Brotherhood combines elements of Spanish flamenco guitar with Native American flute and steel string acoustic using a broad spectrum of open string tuning and finger picking styles. The cover painting is by celebrated Native American artist Dan Namingha.
The white buffalo is a powerful and positive sign that has a message for all - respect for the Earth and reconciliation and unity of the races. This album is dedicated to Miracle, the first white buffalo born in over 60 years. Native American flutist and singer Robert Tree Cody collaborates with keyboardist Rob Wallace and percussionist Will Clipman. They have combined their musical perspectives into a new expression inspired by the traditions that honor the spirit of the buffalo. These 13 songs mix the haunting sound of the traditional flute and voice, by Robert's wife Marlene, with ethnic percussion creating a truly inspired album.
