Damon's Original Music
Disintegrated Friend
This multi-time signature track was originally written for a great drummer friend of mine that passed away due to lymph node cancer... then another friend of mine fell to Lou Gehrig's disease... then my father was taken over by lung cancer.
It is in hopes that we will see our friends and loved ones again... somehow.
Live
This funky little instrumental track was originally intended to be the theme song of a day-time television talk show... but they went with a swingy blues theme instead.
I've just always loved this groove since the day I first wrote and played the bassline.
Fable's Bridge
This is a drum and percussion piece that I wrote and recorded for the 'Sea of Vapors' album by Aqua Hammer.
The three original members (John Tillman, Fred Chandler & Damon Navari) each wrote solo pieces to be included on the album as interludes.
This was mine.
Ballroom of the Sea
I never wrote my mother a pop or rock song, or anything like that, but I did compose this piece for her on my first classical album in 1999. She cried like I knew she would when she heard it for the first time.
The Jester
I wrote this piece to describe how the King viewed the local Jester in a fairy tale that suddenly became my second classical album in 2001 called 'Change of Heart'.
'Change the World' (Ten Years After) Drum Solo from Above
This clip is of Mojo Dragonfly performing their own pumped up version of 'Change the World' by Ten Years After. This video stays focused on Damon Navari (drums) and Jeff dilly (bass). Off screen is Fred Chandler (guitar, violin & lead vocals), Michelle Basch (keys & backing vocals), & Carolynn Street (backing vocals & tambourine). These drum solos were often very different so please check out other versions of this song on my YouTube channel.

'Chuck It' PrideTribe Original- Debut Performance
The debut performance of PrideTribe was on a super hot (and no breeze) day in Clearwater, Florida. I thought this song turned out pretty raw and emotional. This PrideTribe video features Carolynn Street (lead vocals & keys), Shane Doss (guitar & backing vocals), Keith Harper (bass & backing vocals), and Damon Navari (drums / percussion & backing vocals).

'Josie - Aja' (Steely Dan) performed by Eastern Smyle
Throwback - Eastern Smyle was a very big band that somehow fit into all kinds of venues. This clip features a saxophone solo (Daryl Bean) over a percussion solo (Damon Navari) over a drum solo (Randy Hetherington)… The rest of the members in this wonderful band are listed in the video credits.
'The Waiting Waltz (Unfinished)' by Damon Navari
This is just me at home playing a constantly changing and evolving piece of music. One day I will solidify the changes. Relax and enjoy.
