The Recording Academy has announced the final nominees for the 50th Annual Grammy® Awards. "Reconnections" received a nomination in the Native American Music Category. "Reconnections" features Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai, William Eaton and arranger Cliff Sarde. Randy Wood, a noted Cree round dance singer, appears as a special guest artist.

In "Reconnections" Nakai's traditional flute is accompanied by the unique stringed instruments of multi-Grammy® nominee William Eaton, and the hypnotic electronica keyboard arrangements of Cliff Sarde. The resulting sound is the fluid resonance of the cedar flute, the rich harmonies of the harp-guitar, and the undulating rhythms and textures of electronica. "Reconnections" follows Nakai and Sarde's first collaboration, "Enter>>Tribal," which featured several Canyon Records artists in a blend of traditional and contemporary Native American music woven into the rhythms of electronica.

During 2007, production underscore music by Cliff Sarde has been used on the following television shows; "The Sopranos" H.B.O.,"Real World vs. Road Rules Challenge" M-TV, "World War 3 Beyond Lebanon" History Channel,"Psychic Children Their Sixth Sense" A&E, "Access Hollywood", "Control" Univision
