	Eddie Daniels
		Recorded with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and a jazz rhythm section, Eddie pushes the envelope of his breathtaking virtuosity by performing the solo violin part on the clarinet as Vivaldi wrote it, improvising in the classical style, and improvising in the jazz style, all of it seamlessly interwoven in new arrangements by Jorge Calandrelli.
		Eddie Daniels is clearly a renaissance musician, a virtuoso in both jazz and classical music, recipient of unreserved accolades from his peers, from critics, and from the public.
		Eddie's overriding ambition is to reach as many people as possible with his music, to enlarge the audience for both jazz and classical music and at the same time to tear down the walls separating them.

	Jazz Police - It Had to Be Eddie: Daniels’ Releases “Mean What You Say”
		Eddie went on to earn a BA in Music and Education at Brooklyn College and embarked on high school teaching career in New York City.
		Four of the dozen tracks feature Daniels on tenor sax, a good reminder that, while he may have put modern clarinet on the jazz map, he was and still is a consummate master of straight-ahead tenor, as the sax bookends the set in grand fashion.
		Daniels takes us to the tropics with a dancing groove on a tune that proves to be as well suited to the clarinet as sax, and all in all a nice contrast to the typically straight-ahead swing of the set.

	Eddie Daniels: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		While not reaching the pinnacle it occupied during the 1930s and 1940s, it has regained some of the prominence it had as a jazz instrument, and not just with New Orleans traditional jazz, but mainstream, post-bop, and modern as well.
		Buddy DeFranco is one of the great clarinetists of all time and, until the rise of Eddie Daniels, he was indisputably the top clarinetist to emerge since 1940.
		It was DeFranco's misfortune to be the best on an instrument that after the swing era dropped drastically in popularity and, unlike Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, he has never been a household name for the general public.When he was 14 DeFranco won an amateur swing contest sponsored by Tommy Dorsey.

	Five Seasons - Eddie Daniels - Music Reviews
		The great clarinetist Eddie Daniels performs with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (whose personnel and instrumentation is unidentified) plus pianist Alan Broadbent, bassist Dave Carpenter, and drummer Peter Erskine.
		Calandrelli also contributed a closing "The Fifth Season." Daniels plays brilliantly throughout, but the music comes across as a bit trivial, alternating between two very different idioms and rarely trying to mix them together.
		Better to get Eddie Daniels' Breakthrough album (which is a better third stream effort) instead.

	Eddie Daniels : First Prize - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		When one hears this early Eddie Daniels CD (a straight reissue of the original LP), it is surprising to realize that he would remain in relative obscurity for almost another 20 years.
		As shown on the three of the eight selections on which he plays clarinet, Daniels (even at this early stage) ranked near the top while his tenor playing on the remaining numbers was already personal and virtuosic.
		With the assistance of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis rhythm section of the time (pianist Roland Hanna, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Mel Lewis), Daniels is in top form on three standards, four originals and the pop tune "Spanish Flea." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
