Personnel: Eddie Daniels (tenor saxophone, clarinet); Roland Hanna (piano); Richard Davis (bass); Mel Lewis (drums). Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on September 8 & 12, 1966. Includes liner notes by Alan Grant. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1993, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). When one hears this early Eddie Daniels set, 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
