Jaw-dropping duets by Eddie Daniels and Roger Kellaway, recorded live at The Bakery in Los Angeles.

SELLING POINTS • Eddie Daniels and Roger Kellaway have been collaborators on a number of projects over the years, including Daniels’ GrammyAward winning album Memos from Paradise.

• Their playing here is amazingly creative and though they are completely spontaneous, they remain together every step of the way.

• A fascinating example of jazz collaboration at its very best!

• Previous IPO releases by both performers have received outstanding reviews.

FEATURED ARTISTS Eddie Daniels: clarinet Roger Kellaway: piano TRACK LISTING • I’m Getting Sentimental Over You • Slow Dance • Adagio Swing • I Want To Be Happy • New Orleans • This Is The Time • After You’ve Gone • Blue Waltz • Love Of My Life • We’ll Always Be Together PRESS QUOTES “Eddie Daniels’ use of articulation, tone quality, imagination, finesse, absolute control, and exquisite technique makes him one of a kind. For my money, as a proud member of the elitist ‘clarineters club’ myself, I would dare to say that his enormous contribution to the almost extinct art of jazz-clarineting is so significant that now we can even talk about the instrument as BE and AE (Before Eddie and After Eddie).”

— Paquito D’Rivera “IPO Records continues to hold itself out as the premier platform for real players that want to make accessible, non-populist music where they really get the chance to smoke. Kellaway leads the crew on this double live set recorded over four nights, where the gang is modeled on the combos of Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson, and the set card is heavy on period workouts from Miles Davis, Ellington, and others, giving this a MJQ feel more often than not, except it swings harder than they often did. Everyone on deck here is a pro and Kellaway raises all their games.

Simply supreme, sublime adult jazz for sophisticated tastes and those who wish they had some. Hot stuff throughout that doesn’t disappoint at all.” — Midwest Record Recap [IPO 1014]

SELLING POINTS • After his swing-era big band broke up during 1949-’50, Count Basie started up a new group in 1952. Due to Basie’s name, a record contract with producer Norman Granz, and a winning concept, the band caught on.

• The new Basie big band relied more on arranged ensembles, often written in the early days by Neal Hefti and Ernie Wilkins. No soloist was indispensable, even the leader, and that fact has allowed the Count Basie Orchestra to continue touring the world even today, 24 years after Basie’s death.

SELLING POINTS • Jim McNeely has ingeniously traced the musical milestones of Michael Brecker’s career through original compositions that evoke these periods.

From the historic Brecker Brothers sound and his apprenticeship period with Horace Silver, this CD captures the essence of Brecker’s stylistic tendencies and incredible saxophone skills.

• McNeely’s arrangements are full of extraordinary counterpoint, evidenced right from the opening track. Rich harmonies and intricate orchestrations can be heard throughout.

• Of course, to achieve this you need the best musicians on the planet, which George Robert has gathered as the nucleus of his teaching staff at the Conservatory of Lausanne. The group’s fine ensemble work and soloist abilities are heard throughout the recording.

• Stevens wanted to record Sinatra songs without the big band and orchestral productions that launched them, instead performing with a small combo. The limited arrangements are limited only in the number of musicians, and are lush with creativity.
