Agreed, he saunters, matches, struts gracefully from one beautiful room to another, always in the house that clarinet built, and all we can do is follow him from one breathtaking vista to the next.

Reeds worry about him being too tough.

wyndhl eodumegwu Although many notable players have tried to cross the Jazz/Classical divide, few have succeeded in quite the same way as Eddie Daniels in my view. Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw and others tried it but were not really equally at home in the classical as they were in the Jazz style. The trumpeter Wynton Marsalis is the only other wind player I can think of who can truly perform at the very top level in 'both' styles.

A good sound is a good sound.

Methinks he broke the break.

The composer Jorge Calendrelli is to be lauded here also.

I totally agree, listening to these older recordings is very interesting. I've always admired his technical ability but found his tone on the backun instruments too breathy.

I respectfully disagree. I love my Backun clarinet.

hi actually he was playing Yamaha when he recorded this album in mid 80's YCL 62 not even the 82 custom (It was Ycl 72 in USA) if hes on Leblanc here then it s quite a bit later but as its in Japan i would imagine it is organized by Yamaha and he is still on Yamahas I personally think Leblanc are THE best clarinets,I used to work at UK Bill Lewingtons back in 80's who were UK distributor for Yamaha + Leblanc. but hey he could make ANYTHING sound amazing saying this I dont like as much his current sounds or his sound since he changed to Buffet etc etc or backun whatever he is paid to play these days .. .i met him a couple of times before he was world famous as the album breakthrough was being made ,i know some of the orchestral musos on the album as it was made in London.

yes

i believe its on musescore
