368 - Eddie Daniels

On this episode of The Paul Leslie Hour, we present one of, if not the leading clarinet virtuosos in the world. Eddie Daniels is as masterful at classical music as he is jazz. His public debut to jazz audiences began on tenor saxophone with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra. As a recording artist, Eddie Daniels has released over two dozen studio and live albums. As a sideman he's worked with everyone from Bob James, Dave Grusin, Freddie Hubbard and Billy Joel just to name a few. In this short, fast-paced interview we discuss a number of topics including his recent album "Heart of Brazil: A Tribute to Egberto Gismonti."
