David Darling's unconventional, playful teaching style has helped open the world of music and improvisation to thousands of people. Darling is a classically trained cellist who began his career as an elementary and secondary school teacher and conductor of band and orchestra, specializing in cello and bass. He later taught music and served as orchestra conductor and faculty cellist at Western Kentucky University. In 1969 he joined the Grammy Award-winning Paul Winter Consort, an extraordinarily progressive band for its time whose sound blended jazz with Brazilian, African, Indian and other world music; and at times even the voices of animals. During his eight-year stint as soloist, composer and vocalist with the Consort, Darling was immersed in ensemble and solo improvisation. Since he left the Consort in 1978, he has dedicated himself to a solo performing and recording career, and to teaching music and improvisation. Darling invokes the spirits of the heart, mind and body to dance, pray and reflect. “Prayer for Compassion” comes to us from the profound harmony of inner light, inspiration and mysticism. he orchestrates a blissfully turned landscape, over-dubbing cello choirs, laying down reverb-drenched melodies and looping trancey rhythms. The opening "Untold Stories" sets the somnolent tone of the album with an udu-loop groove that drives into deeper layers of cello over-dubs. Guest artists include the Ars Nova Choir, Joseph Firecrow, Suze Villano, and the always inspired Samite of Uganda. The production and recording quality, by long-time collaborator Mickey Houlihan is beyond impeccable. This music is simply a magnificent gift to civilization, one that will outlast us all. |
