Eddie Daniels is the preeminent jazz and classical clarinet virtuoso, described by Benny Goodman as his "successor" and by Leonard Bernstein as a "thoroughly well-bred demon" who "combines elegance with virtuosity." This is his debut performance in The Appel Room. He'll be playing alongside composer, fellow woodwind master, and two-time 2017 Grammy Award-winner Ted Nash of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. In this season's final Appel Room performance, Nash will move you with his renowned ability to transform diverse art forms into powerful jazz expressions – as recently heard in his Portrait in Seven Shades and The Presidential Suite. In addition to premiering an anticipated new composition, Nash will debut inventive versions of pieces by Vivaldi, Bach, and Ravel. The Grammy Award-winning Harlem Quartet, a hip string group known for its brilliance in both jazz and classical contexts, will help Nash and Daniels bring this music to shimmering new life. A superb jazz rhythm section will round out the unique lineup, providing a swinging foundation to the colorful beauty of the string and woodwind parts.
