Obvious choice for the beginner.......2007-03-13
On the other hand, let's say you don't want to devote your life to an in-depth study of Miles Davis' life and music. Then you need to have his three best-known, and by most accounts his three best recordings on your shelf. No one would be disappointed with this set of diverse, yet stunningly beautiful albums.

Drummer-composer-arranger Damon Short debuts for Southport with his new ensemble creation "All Of The Above". This epic recording features a mixture of international artists including Paul Smoker, Paul Scea, Jim Yanda, Ryan Schultz, Larry Kohut and Jeff Newell. The music of Damon Short is a continuation of the mid-size group epic, with vivid colors that span many forms of music creating an orchestral palette of beauty and aggressive rhythmic activity. Short, the composer, continues in a tradition that was forged by previous masters like Charles Mingus, Oliver Nelson and Sun Ra.From the opening New Orleans crys of "Then, As Now" to the orchestral epic title track suite, "All Of The Above", there is an urban romantic essence to Short's compositions and a transparent beauty to the ensemble playing.
"All Of The Above" was recorded live, direct to digital, without overdubs by noted engineer David Baker. Southport records continues to feature the music of new Chicago composers and musicians offering innovative sounds to a world market Band Members: Damon Short, percussion; Paul Smoker, trumpet; Paul Scea, tenor sax, bass clarinet, flute; Larry Kohut, bass; Jim Yanda, guitar; Ryan Shultz, bass trumpet; Jeff Newell, alto, soprano sax

Product Description
Sketches is a collection of miniatures written spontaneously over the past eight years. They are tone poems, short and direct. They are ethnic and simple, influenced by ouds and gypsy fiddles, medieval chants and renaissance fools, sacred motets and ancient guitarists. They come from my soul, not my head. They are a meditation, an album for the young. Nuevas Cantigas is inspired by the 13th century Cantigas de Santa María of Alfonso X, el Sabio, of Spain. Preserved in four large books of incomparable beauty, this collection includes over four hundred monophonic songs and many color miniatures laid out like cartoons that tell tales and sing the praises of Holy Mary. Five of my cantigas are original compositions while the second, Imperayritz, from the 14th century Llibre Vermell, has only a few notes added to the original two-part piece. In Santa Maria Valed I have added a simple drone to a tune from the original Cantigas. In this poignant song the great king himself prays to Holy Mary to relieve him of a terrible illness. The great masters of polyphonic masses and motets such as Josquin des Près inspired lutenists from Capirola to Dowland for over a century. My Five Polyphonic Fantasies start with the vocal clarity of their renaissance models and move toward a more ?guitaristic? expression in Fantasies IV and V. Inversions , my first solo guitar compositions, were written in 1977, twenty years before I began sharing my works with the world. The second Inversion inspired the piece In the Shadow of the Church from my first Gyre CD, Frank Wallace, his own new works. Harlequin is the wise fool of commedia dell? arte, one of the earliest forms of slapstick comedy, still influential to this day. With its roots in masked comedy of ancient times, it spread from Italy to other parts of Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. In this tradition, stock characters improvise to a loose story line. Here, Harlequin falls in love with a beautiful young forbidden woman, gets into trouble, and must flee. On the Sol, in Mi is a pun (Harlequin does have a pure heart): the melody of this song in E Major is played primarily on the third, or G [sol], string. I wrote Six Prayers on Six Strings because the most beautiful manner of playing a melody on a stringed instrument is to slide up and down one string. The melody is played almost exclusively on one string - all accompaniment figures are conceived around this limitation. The final piece is a set of variations based on a fake theme in the style of Dionisio Aguado (1784-1849) which I wrote for a young student of mine. The name comes from the finale, in which, in my imagination, Dionisio visits Buenos Aires (Good Winds), whereupon he hears some good tangos.
