Description

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 has received many awards, including the John Philip Souza Award plus awards for solo competitions. In 1975 and 1976 Jeff participated in a Nation wide audition and was accepted for the (America Youth in Concert) sponsored by the Universal Academy for Music, Princeton New Jersey. Along with the many local and state honor bands, Jeff was also presented the award of Outstanding Musician at the University of the Pacific (Stockton) music camp. He sat First chair in Band, Orchestra, Brass ensemble, and Jazz band. He has been involved in many theatrical productions including, Kiss me Kate, Sugar, and Fiddler on the Roof to name a few.

After earning an associate arts degree, he conducted the Dance Band Reflections from 1979 through 1981. In 1982 Jeff formed the Dance Orchestra Fantasy, which he led and conducted for three years.

Jeff began playing the Native American flute in 1994 and in March of 1995 went to Tucson AZ. to study with R Carlos Nakia. Upon returning home he started to design and make his own flutes, which he uses for recording and performances.

His first recording of traditional Native American Flute Music was released 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; and countless galleries and trading posts around the country. The title of his recording is Winds Quiet Sound, which is also the name of his business.
