Rome, The Eternal City
Tell us a little about you....


Hi, I'm Eric Daniel from Boston/Rome and many other places...

Hopefully this is where you become curious about my jazzy nu-soul project "Old Sax Nu Soul" and/or my curious little book "The Saxophone Survival Kit, A Guide for Aspiring Professional Saxophonists...or just anyone" (like you, perhaps)

So have a nice visit and if you have a good time here, remember to tell a friend and absolutely ...drop by often for updates! Have fun,

E.

************************************************

THE SHORT STORY
After 30 years of playing sax and flute all over the world with top artists
such as Natalie Cole, Paul Young, Zucchero "Sugar" Fornaciari,
Carl Anderson, Randy Crawford and many others, saxman Eric Daniel,
together with DJ/producer Luca Cucchetti and an All-Star line-up
of "Friends", is droppin some very cool, very sexy nu soul grooves in his first solo album: "Eric Daniel and Friends, Old Sax Nu Soul".

And it's about time!

It all started two years ago, at least the first session happened back then.
(It seems like only yesterday...)
In truth how can you say exactly when a project starts. All the people
involved move through their lives, meeting each other, becoming
friends and evolving individually until something happens that brings them all
together, a catalyst, this project. The mixture was right, a spark flashed and BOOM, you tell me.
Just Natures way I guess!

Each of the 16 tracks is a journey in itself, yet the best way to listen to it
is as a kind of Urban R&B/Nu Soul suite that progressively pulls you
deeper than deep, down to the place where the soul folks meet,
as Nigerian master story teller, Dr.Feelx so aptly describes the vibe
in his intro to the title track Old Sax, Nu Soul.


Soulful, soulful, soulful is what oh so fine and Divine Jenny B is
about on the title tracks lead vocal, not to mention veteran Orlando
Johnsons soul and gospel inspired backing vocals. New York bass
man
Tim Fritz keeps everything in the pocket as always.
Of course Eric is there too, in the role of Old Saxman in the story.


The Ghetto, a true urban soul odyssey into a free blowing soundscape,
is getting strong response from local radio airplay in the Eternal City.
Its been previewing in exclusive at Rome's leading Urban Black Music station Radio Centro Suono, 101.3fm).

The anticipation is building day by day...

The question on everyone's lips is "where can I buy it?"

E, why don't you drop by some time and UPLOAD a few videos at IMIsound (don't just embed from another site). That way I can use them for the Spotlight Video section on the homepage ;-)

Take care and take it easy...

Hello again Eric,

Just stopped by to hear some more of your stuff! Love "Old Sax Nu Soul!" Actually... I've got an old sax (1962), and I love it. I wouldn't trade my old sax for anything!

Hope you're having a great summer.

Hey, Eric .. that's Kenny Cohen on the tenor. Kenny Clarke (a member here) on the Hammond B-3, Tom DeQuattro on drums and Chuck Crawford on guitar. I'm working on another CD with them and it will be a blend of blues and jazz. Thanks for your comment about Route 66 .. I'll pass it on along to Kenny Cohen!!

Hi Jaijai,

Stopping by to show you some love and tell you just how much I appreciate all you've been doing here, not just for me but for this incredible community of jazz musicians. I see that The Jazz Network is growing in leaps and bounds daily and want you to know that I recognize the importance of what's going on here, musicians having a place to connect with each other, young musicians having a place to meet and be mentored by musicians who have been around the block. You've created a beautiful space here and it's obvious that folks are feeling very much at home. Thanks for sharing your time, your heart, your soul. This is a huge commitment and you've taken it on with such determination. I wish you and The Jazz Network continued success and support you in all you're doing.

“But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between us. Love one another, and let the love be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”

This is how I have felt and continue to feel since I joined The Jazz Network on March 4th 2008.
If we look back at our Village Elders one sees how they worked together to achieve and be innovative, and thanks to Jaijai and thejazznetwork.ning we are able to continue on the same path as our Village Elders.

What a great place you have created, Jaijai. Thank you so much for your dedication and vision. We musicians benefit immensely, as it brings us closer together, allows for many of us to reconnect, or discover each other for the first time. I am still getting acquainted with the enormous benefits of having this independent place for communication between all of us - artists, fans, promoters, etc., and it is a real honor for me to be featured on the Jazz Network Main Page.
