Roger Kellaway & Eddie Daniels

(From BillBoard review of latest IPO release)


Clarinetist Eddie Daniels and pianist Roger Kellaway have been both revered and sublimated by critics and listeners during their long and sometimes obscured careers. Make no mistake, though -- they are great musicians who somehow do not get the credit they deserve as true jazz masters. When Daniels has played more commercially oriented music, he's branded a sellout, while Kellaway's profile is so low-key, he's practically off the radar except when releasing a recording. Fact is, Daniels is as limber, facile, tuneful, and literate as any clarinet player on the contemporary scene, while Kellaway's understated brilliance is balanced by a sense of wonder and empowerment tempered by a veteran's common sense and deep wisdom. Both have made important strides in recent years to change minds and hearts with several very fine efforts in the modern mainstream idiom, but these duets recorded live at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles have to be a high watermark for them, individually and together...  This is a wondrous duet date featuring extraordinary musicians taking chances and thankfully succeeding on all levels, not the least of which are in the enviable elements of pace, placement, and depth.

Latest News

IPO is continuing to expand its catalog of both jazz and classical recordings.

Our two 2008 releases, Our Delight and Roger Kellaway - Live at the Jazz Standard, received tremendous reviews and public acceptance.  Our Delight, the first studio encounter in over 50 years by James Moody and Hank Jones, spent most of the time since its November release at #1 on the jazz radio charts.  Roger's new offering, which features Russell Malone, Stefon Harris and Jay Leonhart, as well as a cameo by the amazing cellist, Borislav Strulev, has been right behind.

We started 2009 with a fantastic series of duets recorded by Rogewr Kellaway and Eddie Daniels live at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles.  Initial critical reaction has been tremendous and we think this will become a classic.

Later this year, we will issue the first disc of recordings from last August with Moody accompanied by Kenny Barron, Todd Coolman and Lewis Nash.  This is amazing material!

One the classical side, we will be continuing to document the superb playing of pianist Dubravka Tomsic in diverse repertoire.  Her Liszt Recital on IPO received a great reception a few years back (including the grand prize given by the Liszt Society in Hungary), and we are following it up with new recordings of Chopin and Mozart.
