Prayer for Compassion CD quote from David Darling: "The music on this CD is certainly a reflection of a deep and lifelong concern for the oppressed and those who live in poverty - it is absolutely unbelievable that we have social prejudice and racism at this time on our fragile planet - I truly believe that it is time for humanity to stand up for moral, ethical and spiritual behavior for all humans - War should, of course, be abolished . . . as the Dalai Lama has said, "I think war is outdated."
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.
