Eddie Daniel is a Legend. An amazing musician, an artist that can produce the most beautiful music out through his heart.

Wish I could see Ed's horn closer. Looks like extra keys in low end.
Great playing & sound. ❤

[@JazzDuets]

thanks so much for this!

[@danielber2]

extremely beautiful, his music, his humanity,

[@MyBailey777]

Inspirational Artist. Every clarinet player should heed his advice about practicing. It's easy to fall into bad habits. I feel better already!! :)

[@efanshel]

Leon Russianoff and Joe Allard taught their students how to learn, and how to practice in a focused way. You want to thrive, not just survive...

[@josephworley628]

I love listening to Eddie, the stories and the passion is just awesome. Wish I could have a lesson with him one day.

Eddie "Breakthrough" in 85? was a really breakthrough for him more like a all round clarinettist. His jazz albums and live jazz performances have set him as one of the most interesting performers. As classical clarinettist I was lucky to find his world premiére on youtube few years back(also interview with the soloist AND the composer)of Frank Proto Sextet some years ago. I liked that sextet so much that I found myself as soloist with strings from Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra in Norway. We then did the European premiere. Its always interesting to follow Eddie:) go go!

[@nanookdan]

Holy shit, Eddie Daniels was a substitute HS teacher working band and sex ed. I am so glad I watched this...

[@efanshel]

I met Eddie in the seventies through Leo Russianoff. He was a great musician and a real gentleman. He deserves every ounce of his success, and more....

[@medusa210562]

I am a classical clarinet player who does a little improvisation
I was good far me to watch this video to hear what Mr Daniels says about "being free"

[@musicmanson]

Eddie Daniels’ piano chops are *elite*

[@jimrich4192]

I'd say Eddie is the Gallway of the clarinet & much more! 😂❤

[@cymbollixreborn2955]

No words.

[@chriswilkes4350]

He is a brilliant clarinetist. Not sure comparisons add much .

[@jaylozier4083]

Have been looking forward to this interview for a long time, even though I don’t think you announced it in advance. I always expected you to get to Eddie.
I assume those are Dr. Odrich’s barrels in the window; how many are there?

[@mambojazz1]

Jay Lozier No his barrels have to be backun

[@SaxSith]

I played with a trumpet player who was friend with Eddie and he said that Eddie focused on the clarinet because of too many sax players competition.

[@jaimesarasal4460]

What's the name of the song in the introduction of the video?

[@michaelrobinson101]

jaime sarasal czcams.com/video/k7dafOEAoyU/video.html

[@jaimesarasal4460]

Thanks a lot Michael. Great solo

[@jazzgent]

There is no "perhaps" about it! He is standing alone the greatest jazz clarinet player in the world!

[@robertduis6730]

47.10 => Mr. Daniels => "You could have mentionned => Bernard Berkhout (The Netherlands).

[@chrisjones2412]

Boy, Lee has really aged!! Eddie wasnt always be this nice....lots of stories about him in NYC. Santa Fe has really mellowed him out. All here are so great.

[@ClarinetGREAT]

To be fair, Stanley Drucker is a much more versatile player than the modern great clarinetists mentioned. Listen to his Corigliano.

[@Joffewoodwinds]

Check out my website later this week. A surprise is in store for you!

[@xxxrdc]

Shame...you did not mention Eddie being mentored by the clarinets' first BeBop God, BUDDY DEFRANCO
surprised Eddie did not respect Buddy enough to thank him for his mentoring...
