Recorded live at the historic Village Vanguard in November, 1988, this spirited never-before-heard recording by clarinetist Eddie Daniels and pianist Roger Kellaway is a vital addition to the Daniel/Kellaway discography. It’s ‘not only a fascinating musical snapshot of Daniels’ early years playing with Kellaway, it introduces the larger jazz world to rare compositions written by the two’ (John Murph). Audiophile Audition online magazine states: “This recording is a pleasure to audition. It has four masters of their craft sharing their prowess. Eddie is often center stage, but this dream rhythm section more than holds their own… This recording features only five tracks and covers nearly an hour, so each member is featured, and they can really stretch out. ..Jazz clarinet fans, as well as those appreciating a first rate dream rhythm section, will find lots to like in this new issue by 2xHD”

Paying tribute to the world-renowned Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist, Egberto Gismonti. Heart of Brazil features Daniels with the top-shelf trio of pianist Josh Nelson, bassist Kevin Axt and drummer Mauricio Zottarelli, plus the Grammy Award-winning Harlem Quartet. With new arrangements by Ted Nash, Kuno Schmid and Josh Nelson, Heart of Brazil collects songs from Gismonti’s classic early 1970s albums on Odeon/EMI Records, such as his self-titled 1973 album, Água & Vinho (1972), Corações Futuristas (1976), Carmo (1977) and others. The album was produced by Resonance president George Klabin, who has long felt Gismonti’s work has been under-appreciated and deserving of wider recognition. Gismonti says in his interview with acclaimed author James Gavin, “When I heard the record I felt immense joy…The repertoire spans a rich period of my composing. What a great present for my seventy years of life.”
