Product Description: This collection of solo flute pieces from Navajo-Ute musician R. Carlos Nakai is an evocative delight. The album consists of mostly original material, from the composition "Canyon Reverie," to the improvisational "In Media Res," to "Athabascan Song," an arrangement of a traditional song. The latter in particular stands out, with a faster rhythm and more lilting melody than most of the other pieces. There's also "Ancient Dreams," performed on a bone whistle; the instrument almost exceeds the upper range of human hearing, and Nakai occasionally sounds like he's imitating birdcalls. A classically trained musician, Nakai blends musical traditions to create a whole that reminds one, on occasion, of Japanese shakuhachi music. --Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews
Great Artist
R. Carlos Nakai makes music with great feeling. The sound washes over you and puts you in another place away from the noise we live in.

excellent
I originally heard of Nakai years ago but hadn't listened to him in a long time. I recently bought a couple of his CD's and I'm glad I did. His music is so relaxing. I listen to the CDs every night when I go to bed. It helps rid my mind of the day's stress. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a little relaxation time. You don't have to be big into the Native American culture. There are no drum's, no singing, just the amazing talents of Nakai's flute playing.
