In this quartet setting, he is joined by greats such as <strong>Richard Davis<\/strong> (b), <strong>Kenny Washington <\/strong>(d) and the monumental jazz veteran, <strong>Hank Jones<\/strong> (p). There is no question that Daniels&#8217; technique and control on the clarinet is nearly unmatched, as he definitely displays on Strayhorn&#8217;s <em>Passion Flower<\/em>. While the rhythm section is rock-solid, the smoothness of Jones&#8217; ivory add body throughout the 12 tracks.  <\/p>\n<p>  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&#8217;s Live at the Village Vanguard garnered sufficient attention for Daniels to win Down Beat&#8217;s International Critics New Star on Clarinet award.   <\/p>\n<p>  Though the tenor sax playing on this release is only average, this is still one to own for moderate-style listener minus the hard bop. 3 stars.                <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/font><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eddie Daniels Mean What You Say (Ipo Recordings &#8211; 2006)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5023\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
