As much as he is a pianist, Ron Davis is also a composer. This side of Ron's talent has really emerged on his last there CDs Shimmering Rhythm, Subarashii Live and, just released, The Bestseller.
Ron is proud to announce a book of his songs. Rhythmaron: The Music of Ron Davis is a deluxe printing of 23 original compositions by Ron. A mixture of uptempo songs (Whirlycurl, Pawpwalk) and lyrical ballads (Allelujah, Down By 3), all of them bear Ron's stamp of originality. The songs are written out for play on the piano, with melody, bass and chords.
As well as being a book of beautiful music, Rhythmaron: The Music of Ron Davis is a beautiful book: 9" x 12", deluxe typeset printing on heavy stock acid-free paper, sight-reading friendly, hardboard backing, copper-spiral binding, music is in "leadsheet" style (melody and chords), with an Introduction by Ron, and chord symbol chart included.
Rhythmaron: The Music of Ron Davis is now available through cdfreedom.com. A great Holiday gift for a music-lover!
