notes
“My Esteemed Traveler” is Dr. Jeff Martindale’s long-awaited album. “My Esteemed Traveler” entrances the listener with original Native American and Shakuhachi flute performances. It is a perfect choice for anyone wanting to relax, meditate, or aid in their concentration for studying.
Dr. Martindale’s playing style is a collection of traditional nuances, free-flowing form, and jazz like playfulness. “My Esteemed Traveler” is comprised primarily of solo performances to bring out the natural and powerful voices of each flute. The final track titled “Into the Sunset” combines the Native American flute and guitar to depict a rider galloping off into the sunset. Shakuhachi performances titled “Cautious Whispers” and “Meditations” envelopes the listener with the powerful yet gentle sounds of these mysterious bamboo flutes.
The title “My Esteemed Traveler” is in dedication to the late Dr. Richard Payne. Dr. Martindale considered Doc Payne a friend and mentor who encouraged him to use the Native American flute within his mental health work. The song “Toubat Memories” is dedicated to the memory of playing alongside Dr. Payne as the Oklahoma sunrise appeared one early morning.
As a self-taught performer on the Native American flute, Dr. Martindale has performed in various public venues. His combined use of the Shakuhachi and Native American flute allowed Dr. Martindale the opportunity to perform a world premier composition “Soliloquy” at the Tenri Culutural Institute in New York City. Dr. Martindale also incorporates the use of his flutes and drums within his mental health work with clients.

My Esteemed Traveler
author: Kate PriceBeautiful, soothing, relaxing. I often have trouble getting to sleep, but this CD always relaxes me enough to get my sleep.
very relaxing after a hard day at work!
author: Walt Frampus, JrDr. Jeff Martindale's "My esteemed Traveler" is a fine blend of Native American flute and Japanese Shakuhachi. Being a Native American flute player myself, I can appreciate the outstanding work that is done here. My favorite titles are "meditation" and "into the sunset" Meditation is a relaxing cure to a hard day. Into the sunset is the only song that incorporates guitar with the flute, the rest is solo. If you need something to help you relax or just want to hear some great music check this CD out!
Wonderful solo flute compositions by a gifted artist.
