Synopsis

Album Description

"Eddie Daniels combines elegance and virtuosity in a way that makes me remember Arthur Rubenstein?he is a thoroughly well-bred demon." - LEONARD BERNSTEIN "It is a rare event in jazz when one man can all but reinvent an instrument, bringing it to a new stage of its evolution." - LEONARD FEATHER, JAZZ CRITIC "Perfect synthesis between classical techniqe and jazz sensibitily ...blinding virtuosity." - DOWNBEAT "Eddie's debut album...will become the benchmark to judge all future recordings blending the world of classical music and jazz." - QUINCY JONES Eddie Daniels is that rarest of rare musicians who is not only equally at home in both jazz and classical music but excels at both with breathtaking virtuosity. Daniels first came to the attention of jazz audiences as a tenor saxophonist with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. In 1968, a single clarinet solo on that group?s Live at the Village Vanguard garnered sufficient attention for Daniels to win Down Beat?s International Critics New Star on Clarinet award. Daniels? overriding ambition is to reach as many people as possible with his music, to enlarge the audience for both jazz & classical music and at the same time tear down the walls separating them.

CD Reviews

Virtuosity!

Grady Harp | Los Angeles, CA United States | 06/06/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For any of those music lovers out there who may think that anything performed outside the classical music purview is not real, take a listen to this impeccably performed and recorded CD. Not only is Eddie Daniels a brilliant musician on both the tenor sax and clarinet, he has an ear for line and riff that would make even the most daring of our classical music composers envious.

But this recording is not about Eddie Daniels: this recording is the totality of the Quartet assigned to his name. All the musicians here are first class: Hank Jones on piano, Richard Davis on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums. Their interrelationship in thinking is so keen that it seems wholly improvised, yet just when we've been dazzled by the individual passages for each instrument the quartet brings us back into the melody line, having embroidered the theme richly and imaginatively. 'It had to be you' is a delight, 'Passion Flower' has never sounded so made of love, 'Why you..' has a duet between piano and clarinet that starts a wild little drama, 'Azure' is Ellington as his best...the list goes on and on.

For those who have always wanted to enter an appreciation for jazz but have been afraid to approach, pull up a chair and join the growing throng. This is as good as it gets...pure virtuosity! Grady Harp, June 06"
