We're a small independent label featuring original artists from the Pacific Northwest.
The latest news is that we've re-issued Janice Scroggins Plays Scott Joplin -- remastered by Kevin Nettleingham and with a new graphics package by Caleb Olsen. Janice is great, and her recording of Scott Joplin's rags -- made twenty years ago, will you look at the time fly by! -- are unique. Where everyone else seems to like to race through the Maple Leaf Rag, say, it's Janice who adheres to the composer's own clearly stated instruction that "it is never right to play ragtime fast." The result is a revelation. And the slower pieces -- Heaven in Janice's hands!

Flying Heart Records owner Jan Chciuk-Celt has completed a translation of his father's final book, Z Retingerem do Warszawy i z Powrotem which deals with Operation Salamander (during World War II, in 1944) and the person of Dr. Joseph Retinger . This fascinating account by Tadeusz Chciuk-Celt , written under the pen name Marek Celt, is only available in the Polish original at this time, but we're actively looking to get it published in English. It's worth noting that the Chciuk family of my father's generation produced four brothers who all fought in World War II and survived, including ace fighter pilot Wladyslaw Chciuk who took part in the Battle of Britain.
