Danny Paradise River Of The Soul CD

Campbell. She began singing as a child in church. She would sing with her family known as the Campbell Singers. In later years Marcella would become Director over various groups and choirs. She became inspired to write songs and teach them.

After undergoing Reiki attunements, he discovered the primal sound of the Native American flute. It was as if some kind of cellular memory was triggered in him, for the urgency to embrace this voice of the wind 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."Saggio walked away from his former career as a high school English teacher to devote full time to performing and recording. He has appeared at Borders Books & Music, The Thunderbird Balloon Classic, Scottsdale Fiesta Bowl Art Walk, Mesa Arts Center, Chandler Center for the Arts, the West Valley Art Museum, and the University of San Diego. Currently, he and his wife, Barbara Ruth, are conducting Sacred Sound Healing Meditations with crystal singing bowls and native flutes at their dome home in Apache Junction, Arizona.

His debut album, "The Thunder of Silence," is a magical blend of plaintive, haunting flute improvisations, accented with the grace and elegance of Riki Newell's classical guitar.

Saggio's second CD, "When Daydreams Whisper," is a collaboration with Mike Gulino, a celebration of flute and guitar, offering a wide range of richly orchestrated, romantic, contemporary melodies.

A third album, "Courting the Heart of the World," consisting of one-take improvisations with pianist Alex Grant, returns to the trance music of his first album and for the first time identifies this gifted flute player as a healing artist who sees himself as a flute pray-er offering musical sacraments to a spiritually hungry planet.
