Anthony Davis - Lady Of The Mirrors album flac

Anthony Davis is a pioneer, despite forbears such as Gershwin, Ellington, Gunther Schuller and John Lewis (of Modern Jazz Quartet fame) in the melding of "classical" and "jazz" American musical forms. His music may have achieved higher ephiphanies in works such as "Episteme" and his opera "X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X," but this album is, arguably, where it all started. Lady of the Mirrors" is a solo piano recital that bridges the gap between Davis's influences and his ambitions

Anthony Davis is best known as a composer, both in avant-garde jazz and in classical music (including operas). Although all six selections on this reissue CD are by Davis, the main focus is on his piano playing. He is heard on six extended solos, exploring many moods and ideas in a thoughtful yet unpredictable fashion. His "Man on a Turquoise Cloud" pays tribute to one of his main influences, Duke Ellington, but in general the complex and often-fascinating music is quite original and has no obvious predecessor.
