@@efanshel I started playing clarinet in 1960. I quit playing clarinet in 1980 to concentrate on the tenor. ( I discovered saxophone much later on in life ) I've just started to play clarinet again, which makes listening to Eddie here even more mind blowing, he just plays so perfectly and I'm struggling to find any kinda chops on the horn again, long layoff or not! I've had to go right back to basic, long tones, scales and arpeggios so I know first hand what kinda work Eddie must have put into the horn to get that good.. He's right up there with Buddy DeFranco, Tony Scott and Putte Wickman.

Incredible technique and tone! So smooth. Just discovered him somehow. Played clarinet from elementary school through college and never heard of him until now. I've lived a sad, deprived life!

@@eddiedaniels41 In my effort to design a brand new practice regimen geared toward developing a blues/jazz sound (with scoops, bends etc.), I came across the Joe Allard Master Speaks videos and Harvey Pittel's series explaining what he learned from Joe. (I'm classically-trained sax player.) I heard you mention in a video that Joe was your mentor/father figure. Would you consider doing a video of what you learned from Joe, especially on the throat and how to slide, scoop etc.? I love how you sound so great throughout the whole range of the clarinet - and how you switch from classical to blues so seamlessly. Thanks, in advance, if you decide to consider making your own Joe Allard-related video. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos.

I love how buzzing he is, you can see him just vibing every minute!

It was this album that turned me on to E.D. Truly wonderful stuff. He did a gig in San Jose and wanted to play tenor and flute but he didn't have the horns with him. He asked the audience if anyone had them. I had my tenor and he played a few songs on it. Then, he said, "Now I'll play the difficult one," and took out his clarinet. He was amazing on tenor. Then he burned the place down on clarinet! What an fantastic night. On a side. note, what is Doc doing back there, directing with a pencil?!? Typical jazzer!!!

Eddie is the world's premiere Jazz clarinetist. He flies like a bird in his playing, limitless ability to soar and dive through the air with the greatest of ease. The name "Bird" was given to saxophonist Charlie Parker, but the name "Eagle" should be given to Eddie Daniels. Virtuoso !!!

I first went to Eddie for a lesson 36 years ago, words fail, but I'll say that it was an extraordinary experience. Like for so many, Eddie and Joe Allard conveyed absolutely vital information and experience for me, that has made all the difference. No one in jazz brings to the clarinet the beauty, history, depth, insight, and SWING!, .....like Eddie Daniels.

I studied with Eddie in 1973 for maybe a year. He played piano on my Berklee audition tape. He lived in Hewlett, NY on Long Island at the time. A couple of years later I took several lessons with Joe Allard at New England Conservatory. You and me are lucky guys!

Doc and the NBC Orchestra could and did play with every musician or singer who appeared on the program. They rocked and had to be incredible to hear in-person.

I've been listening to Eddie Daniels since 1965 . When I heard him Live at a concert at Hunter College in NYC with the Thad Jones & Mel Lewis Orchestra splitting the concert with Johnny Richards Conducting his Arrangements on the first Half & Thad & Mel Orch. playing on the second Half. It was before they started to play on Monday night at the Village Vanguard in Feb.1966. It was a great concert .Then I would go hear them at the Vanguard on Mon. nights. I met most of the Players

My teacher had a couple of private lessons with Eddie. He said Eddie wasn't expecting to play the first piece because they originally told him they only had time for the second piece. When they started playing the intro for the first piece you can see Eddie looking around kind of confused. Said he didn't have time to feel scared about it and so he just went with it and started playing.

That was thirty-three years ago, and it still sounds great today.

So many great unknown musicians. I have never heard of this guy till today...amazing. If he made to the Tonight show he must have been well known and great already in that time but he is not a household name. Great technique but I have to say however, that as great as his technique is, he does not have the tone or the feeling of Pete Fountain who had more " bite " to his sound and more interesting and powerful phrasing. This is pretty mono-tonal and mostly technical gymnastics. No " kvetch " , which is one of the main characteristics that can be evoked from a clarinet as opposed to other instruments and which gives it that unique sound and flavor. Still he is excellent.

It's hard to reconcile late night TV music like this with late night today. "Interpretation" no longer matters for artists who do all-original material that's choreographed and produced as locked-down music video style. Melody-harmony-rhythm, all passé, Hip hop and rap rule, inciting crowds into rushing the stage and perishing. Bring back the Great American Songbook and Richard Rodgers for the beginning of a return to art and sanity (not to mention safety).
