Trumpet Guy Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Have recently rediscovered trumpeter Ted Daniel on the great Dewey Redman's "The Ear Of The Behearer". I really find this style of trumpeting fascinating; a kinship, for me, to Norman Howard, Donald Ayler,Alan Shorter...Now I find myself wanting to hear other records of Ted Daniel. He is still alive? What would you recommend to hear next? They mention in the liners about his record on the Ujamaa Records from the early 70's... Thanks in advance! Quote

Trumpet Guy Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Posted February 16, 2009 Ted's doing the MySpace thing! http://www.myspace.com/teddaniel Thanks Jim! Very cool--lots of info there. I just asked to be his friend I hope things are going great for you! Phil Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 The Ujaama has been reissued on CD and is available from Ted directly. You might try contacting him through MySpace. Tapestry, reissued on Porter Records, is also a hell of a date. It's kind of like running late Lee Morgan through the filter of loft jazz. He was also in a very, very weird free jazz/R&B combo called Brute Force; they have one record on Embryo and Porter will be issuing some live material from the vaults this year. I also highly recommend his work with clarinetist Michael Marcus in Duology - there is a disc on Boxholder that's pretty good and one on Soul Note that is excellent. Finally, if you can find it - and Ted might have copies left - the big band recordings on In The Beginning are mind-melting. Quote
JSngry Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Thanks, Phil, you too. Good to see you in these parts again too, by the way! Edited February 16, 2009 by JSngry Quote
relyles Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Daniel is also very interesting on the Andrew Cyrille Maono recordings. Quote
mikeweil Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Yes, I saw him live with Maono - will have to dig out the LPs sometime later this week. Nice trumpeter, not just running licks but trying to find something new. Edited February 17, 2009 by mikeweil Quote
Trumpet Guy Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks very much to you all! As usual, you've given a wealth of info! Now I need the wealth to buy! Quote
JohnS Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Daniel is also very interesting on the Andrew Cyrille Maono recordings. I agree, the Cyrille discs are a great place to start. Saw the Cyrille group live once, Daniel and Ware made a fine team. Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 He's with Henry Threadgill's Sextett on RCA in the 1980's. The vividly titled, "Rag, Bush and All." Quote
T.D. Posted March 9, 2019 Report Posted March 9, 2019 Bump. Really enjoying Ted Daniel's playing on the Andrew Cyrille Black Saint box (Metamusicians' Stomp, Special People, The Navigator). Only other thing I've heard him on is Henry Threadgill's excellent Song out of my Trees. Further suggestions welcome. Quote

JSngry Posted March 10, 2019 Report Posted March 10, 2019 This link, verbatim. Works for me! https://myspace.com/teddaniel Content, however, is, uh...aged? Quote
T.D. Posted March 10, 2019 Report Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Weird. I still get the 410 error, even using IE (I usually use Chrome). There's a Facebook page last updated in 2012. Edited March 10, 2019 by T.D. Quote
relyles Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 There is also a recording on NoBusiness Records - Interconnection - that at least on paper was enough for me to purchase. I have not had an opportunity to listen yet. Quote
sambrasa Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 Also this Japanese thing https://www.discogs.com/Tatsuya-Nakamura-Quartet-Song-Of-Pat/release/2591908 Quote

I like NoBusiness and own several of their releases, so that looks like the way to go. Edited March 23, 2019 by T.D. Quote
Justin V Posted March 12, 2019 Report Posted March 12, 2019 Count me as a Ted Daniel fan. I just listened to In the Beginning, a date where Daniel is keeping deservedly heavy company (Charles Tyler, Oliver Lake, David Murray and Arthur Blythe, among others). This thread reminded me to rip that one and Interconnection, which I will revisit soon. I also recommend his trio album, The Loft Years, Vol. 1, and Solo at Abbazia San Zeno, Pisa, Italy. With those four being archival releases, it makes me wonder how much material Daniel has socked away. A sideman date I heartily recommend is Billy Bang's Vietnam: Relections, which also has Henry Threadgill, James Spaulding, John Hicks, Curtis Lundy, Michael Carvin and others, conducted by Butch Morris. Although I haven't heard it in years, a mistake I will soon rectify, it is a haunting album. I saw Daniel at the Freedom of Sound Festival (a Dolphy tribute) several years ago and then twice in two days with Michael Marcus and Jay Rosen. I posted about the festival at the time, but I want to say he played wirh an ensemble conducted by Grachan Moncur III. On the trio gigs, he played cornet and was set to play at Edgefest, which apparently focused on the cornet that year. At any rate, he had a gorgeous cornet sound and played two memorable shows. Marcus had written some strong material; it'd be a shame if he never recorded that group. I also have to add that Daniel has to be one of the friendliest, warmest musicians I've met (and Marcus was super nice, too). Quote

I was also at that festival in Montclair and have a very positive memory of the Moncur Ensemble. I confess that I forgot Daniel was in that ensemble. At the same festival he also played in an ensemble conducted by James Newton. Quote
