Al Jewer Al Jewer is a Native American flutist from Wisconsin.

In 1984, he established Laughing Cat Studio, and in 1994, Laughing Cat Records to give himself control over the recording, production and distribution of his music. This has given him the chance to work with many other musicians of the Midwestern United States, including Blackhawk, David Storei and Roxanne Neat, Natty Nation, Adrian Belew and Weekend Wages. Laughing Cat Records currently features artists who perform in Ambient, Native American, Reggae, Classical and Folk. Al has released two solo albums: "River Crossing" and "Prairie Plain Song" as well as "Two Trees" and "Music of the Earth" (with Andy Mitran). He also previously formed a duo with Christine Ibach called Cedar Wind. Cedar Wind released two albums, "Feather on the Wind" and "Kindred Spirits". His recent music often features harmonies on the alto and bass flute with melodies on the Native American flute.
