Saggio is a former student of R. Carlos Nakai, a member of The International Native American Flute Association, and an honorary member of the Arizona Flute Circle. He started playing native American flutes 13 years ago. He fell instantly under the spell of this primal sound. He believes that some kind of collective cellular memory was triggered in him, for the urgency to make this sound was overwhelming.

Although Saggio had never made music before, his first encounter with the flute was a mystical union of wood, flesh, and spirit, a genuine heart-awakening. This was a coming home for both the flute and the flute player, a soulful reunion of long-separated friends.

"I play these flutes without knowing how," says Saggio. "It is because I AM what I play. I put my head under my arm and I play from my heart. I PRAY my flutes to carry me to that quiet place deep within...where I can experience the thunder of silence.

This self-taught artist describes his music as a haunting, plaintive, ethereal journey of native American flute improvisations, accented with the elegance and grace of classical guitar " ... an ideal accompaniment for wellness programs, bodywork, and journeys within. "

But it's even more. It's an inspiring, healing, triumphant sound painting with which to journey through the new millennium.

    I just finished reading the professional review of this CD by John Sarantos that is listed on Saggio's website. I invite others to read this review as well. Mr. Sarantos gives an accurate description of this CD. Saggio and Riki Newell collaborated to create a triumphant sound painting together. It IS a wonderful gift to the world!

  • This CD is Saggio's best work to date!

    I have purchased all of Saggios CDs and I have enjoyed this one the most. The flute is so haunting, it puts me into an alpha state immediately. The guitar work by Riki Newell blends so well with the flute, to create a magical, musical journey of the soul. I love this CD!

  • Perfect for anything
    author: Kay

    This is the first CD of Saggio's that I have heard, so I cannot compare it to his previous recordings...but compared to other Native American flute recordings I have heard I would recommend this over others. If you're looking for the perfect cd for breathing, reflecting, meditating, driving, birthing, chanting, cleaning....anything! - then this is the one. I have many 'meditation' cd's, but this is the one that stays in my cd player most of the time. All the songs are similiar in style...there are no jarring sounds or disturbing changes in pattern. The soulful, aching, enchantingly haunting music immediately takes the listener to a higher vibration. The music has had a profound effect on everyone that has heard it and they always ask me for the artist's name so they can buy it. Its amazing!

  • The baby and I LOVE IT!
