If you think rock/pop bands have it rough, you ought to check out the jazz and orchestral worlds… in spite of a Grammy nomination and sold out performances it’s been frustrating to see how little coverage Bridges, Eddie Daniels Plays the Music of Frank Proto has received since it’s release.  Fortunately I’ve discovered this piece at Crossovermedia, which specializes in such recordings uncategorizable music projects.  Cooler still they provide a list of spins and attention the music has garnered.

Beyond this, the project’s label Liben Music has a page of reviews for this record.  As does Eddie Daniels at his site.  As the engineer, I’m pretty proud of the positive comments about the sound of this record, as well as the music and performances we captured.  Still, considering the importance of the music, the concept (new orchestral and chamber compositions featuring a clarinet virtuoso), the reviews don’t reflect the achievement.  Fortunately our industry peers recognized it with a Grammy nomination for Best Chamber Performance.

The CD and DVD package of Bridges is available from Liben.com.
