RAVEN WOLF C. FELTON JENNINGS II, multi-instrumentalist (saxophones, orchestral flute, native style wooden flutes, djembe, electric bass, piano), singer/songwriter, music producer and private music instructor has created a musical Healing Sound Art form he calls 'Spiritual Jazz ...in the St. Louis Tradition'.
Here in Saint Louis, a town with high expectations from its Blues Men, RAVEN WOLF stands as a master of soul and spirit. His brand of magical mystical blues and jazz is earthy, visceral, emotional. He whispers his soul into the saxophone and the music that flows out is alluring and tantalizing, like an ache deep inside your mind. He can make your heart cry with longing or lead you playfully into the coolest of cool jazz. His unique interpretation of the Native American flute is an experience not to be missed. RAVEN WOLF doesn't just play music, he takes you on a journey through many lands and cultures, introduces you to many styles and genres. His performances are adventures into the sacred and the sensual, where delights abound and the only thing you have to do is relax and enjoy. Come journey with him. ~ Connie Bollinger
RAVEN WOLF shares his 'Magical Mystical Meditation Concerts' and his 'Healing Drum-Spiriting Concerts' throughout the Heartland bringing forth peace, beauty, mellow grooves and goodwill - truly music for all ages.
RAVEN WOLF C. FELTON JENNINGS II and Aethan 8-13-2011
The RAVEN WOLF experience is a spiritual event -- from the stage-set design, which expresses the diversity of musical implements, to the aromatherapy of burning incense. His clothing is likened to a uniform of respect for his spiritual gift -- a gift that he openly, honestly and happily shares. You'll witness RAVEN WOLF stepping side to side in perfect rhythm -- his mind's eye sharing a musical riff. In a spiritual jazz improvisation he builds and layers these riffs -- sometimes in a frenzy or a frantic boogie, or sometimes to the whisper of bliss. Every musical phrase has its own nuance. RAVEN WOLF's music dispels darkness and negativity, for they cannot exist where joy and hope prosper and grow. The emotionally and spiritually worn will find rest and vigor to face each day. My brother in spirit, a true shaman bathed in charisma, is articulate, educated and approachable. Expect the need for more than just several meditative rides through his spiritual mind's eye on this CD. ~ Blu - Jae
