Kokopelli's Cafe

Editorial Reviews

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

Kokopelli's Cafe.......2006-07-18

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!

Something new, Really.......1999-05-13

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.
