i first Heard Don Byron like 7 years and thanked the Lord Above. Daniel, you have to explain how he sounds like Eddie Daniels because I think the differance is huge and fundamental. Eddie Daniels plays very agreeable nice stuff (even though he seems to be able to play anything, this is his choice). Don Byron plays music that is central to the most exciting things in modern jazz. Check out him on Bill Frisell records, or with Reggie Workman on his own record (my favorite) Tuskegee Experiments. Also on that record, he does a rendition of a Shumann song that IMHO is only matched by Dietrich Ficsher-Diskau (sp?). You can check out his Afro-cuban band on his record Music for 6 Musicians, he rocks the latin sound as well as the Klezmer!
Don Byron is pushing envelopes that need to be pushed, and pushed further. I'd probably own more of his records (like the latest ones with Biz Markie) if I wasn't interested in such similar things! Has anyone heard the Biz Markie record that Byron did?
Not to dis Eddie Daniels cause he has amazing technique, but other than Nepenthe, and maybe Blackwood (which was very relaxing when I heard it in the dentist's office) his music had not touched a fraction as much as it has impressed me.
