Douglas Morton started playing keyboards shortly after he was born to an amazing family in
Cupertino, California. He was fascinated by keyboards, organs, and pianos from an early age. Riding
his bike down to the local organ/piano store, he quickly made a pest of himself by playing every single
instrument in the store. The annoyed (and charmed, no doubt) employees quickly realized that
Douglas wasn’t going away. After numerous calls to his parents, they finally broke down and
purchased his first organ, the Thomas Californian. He then proceeded to serenade his family and the
neighbors with non-stop organ playing, his renditions of Santana, Gershwin, and the Beatles were
enjoyed (and tolerated) throughout his otherwise quiet middle-class Cupertino suburb. He was a
demo artist for Thomas Organs appearing in Santa Cruz and Monterey during his childhood.
Attending school in Cupertino and Victoria, BC, he played in bands through his teen years and then
later migrated back to Santa Cruz, California.
Meeting Russ Jones through a mutual friend in 2019, Douglas and Russ set up a jam at Douglas’s
house in Park City, Utah. After chatting a bit, they plugged in and an immediate magical and musical
flow occurred. Fortunately, the record button was hit and the entire two-hour session was recorded.
Upon later listening, they realized how strong the connection is between them. Morton’s cinematic
orchestral pads provide an ocean of texture for Jones’ soaring flute lines creating sonic images
allowing the listener’s imagination to run wild and free. Morton Jones albums are not layered and
built, they’re all played live in the studio enabling them to empathize musically and psychically.
Russ Jones is a Utah-based flutist, originally from the mountains of
California. Russ’ musical journey began with his spiritual trip to
Mexico, where he purchased his first flute in 2011. As a self-taught
flutist, Russ first developed a connection with a Native American style
flute, before expanding his arsenal to include flutes from around the
world. Jones’ first solo album was recorded in 2014, after which Russ
began to perform at house concerts, new age festivals, and work as a
studio musician for film scores. Jones’ flute collection includes
historical Native American Flutes, including the Shakuhachi, and the
Kaval.
