Canyon Trilogy: Native American Flute Music

Amazon.com essential recording
Nakai's free improvisations on this album are based on his impressions of the Anasazi and Sinagua sites, ancient cliff dwellings that were home to communities of Native people thousands of years ago. By using the Roland SDE 3000 Digital Delay system, Nakai is able to play duets with his own echo, in an effort to emulate the echoes of the past that haunt these ruins. On this recording, Nakai's flute sounds even more plaintive than usual, as if the spirits of these forgotten ancestors had entered into the studio to fill his playing with the whispered reverberations of their ancient ways. This is one of Nakai's most deeply felt recordings, one that resonates with a deep, melancholy yearning. --j. poet

nice!.......2007-03-31

there's something about native flute that i find very relaxing, and it makes great background music when i'm in session with clients. Nakai does a fabulous job!

GREAT CARLOS NAKAI!.......2007-03-12

What a wonderful music for relaxing and happiness.
I am dreaming about forgotten times.

Thank you.

Hauntingly beautiful.......2007-01-15

I first heard of R. Carlos Nakai on the music channel I have on cable and I instantly fell in love with his music. This album is simply amazing, it's beauty is haunting and I can't begin to tell everyone how very pleased I am with my purchase of this cd. Every song is a masterpiece and the fact that each song is played in a canyon/cave adds to the mysterious quality of the music. This is a great album for anyone who is interested in Native American flute music and Nakai is the best in this genre.

The Master.......2007-01-04

This CD replaced a tape that has been a favorite of mine. Wonderful.

AWESOME Native American Flute Music!.......2006-11-14

R. Carlos Nakai is the best of the best among those playing Native American flute, and this C.D. is his absolute best. It transports one into higher dimensions and brings peace. I can't say enough good stuff about this C.D. I had wanted it for years and I finally got it! It was worth the wait.
