Review
Excerpt- - Peter Kater and Sacred Earth - Wind of the East (with
Guest Artists Arvel Bird and Joseph Firecrow) (Red Feather Music)
by
John Diliberto, Producer of Echoes
"Arvel
Bird's violin has a warm melodic tone and lyrical sound that
whirls through Kater's arrangements. While there's little intrinsically
"native" in the violin, Joseph Fire Crow is a student of traditional
flute songs who nevertheless plays freely within this music,
creating soulful melodies and bird-like calls. I love the way
the flute and violin lines interweave. On "The Eagle's Story,"
Bird's short, arcing violin sounds like a call out to Fire Crow,
whose flute emerges from the violin echo at the beginning. It's
one of the more energized tunes on the album, with melodies
that spin between the two native musicians and guitarist Mike
Hamilton, the unsung hero of this recording. His rhythm comping
and finger-picked interplay tie many of these tracks together."
