A remarkable clarinetist who ranks at the top of his field,
Eddie Daniels sounds quite restrained throughout the easy listening set, although he throws in a few complex runs on "Beautiful Love." With a tasteful rhythm section (including guitarist
Chuck Loeb and pianist
Bob James),
Daniels mostly sticks to melodic interpretations during a theme apiece by
Bach,
Erik Satie, and
Rachmaninov, four of his own originals, two by
Loeb, and the title cut. ~ Scott Yanow
