About Me


We do a lot of ambient and meditative music as well as full band smooth jazz style and light rock- all with The Native American Courting Flute as the focal sound. Ted plays the Drum kit - various world percussion instruments and several differently tuned Hang drums. The Hang Drum is an incredible melodic and rhythmic instrument. Randy Plays the bass and pedal synth keys. Greg Dillon plays guitar and Jeff is on NAF. We are featured on several soundtracks and can be heard on radio worldwide!
