| Jeff Chambers comes from a mixed
heritage background of Cherokee, Scotch-Irish, German and English.
He first started to study music in grade school, where he was introduced
to the trumpet. In high school and through college he studied classical
trumpet and theory with Eddie Hauge (formerly with the San Francisco
symphony). Jeff heard his first recording of the Native American flute
in1994, the sound of the flute completely captivated him. He purchased
his first flute and in march of 1995 went to Tucson AZ. to study with
R
Carlos Nakia. Upon returning home Jeff started to design and make
his own flutes which he uses for recording and performances.
Jeff released his first recording in September of
1997. It has been well received by the public and is currently being
carried at the Cherokee
National Historical Society Gift Shop, Tahlequah OK. The Indian
Pueblo Cultural Center, in Albuquerque NM. and many galleries
and trading posts around the country. The title of his recording
is Winds Quiet Sound, which is also the name of his business. Jeff
wanted the music on this recording to reflect the traditional sounds
of times past, as a way to honor and respect what the flute means
to him.
Jeff released his second recording in April of 2002.
The title is "Pleiadian
Nights" it is a collection of all original compositions
that bring together his multicultural experience to transcend time
and boundaries, combining the flute with Piano and strings that
will touch your soul.
Now the new CD "Mystic Shadows of the Wind"
due to be released in Sept 2003 takes you back to the old days and
old ways. This CD is a needed connection to the past, when things
were a little slower and life was simpler. Sit back and let the
tension of the days stresses just melt away, and if you happen to
fall asleep while listening, that's OK.
