Brought up on the Beatles and Joni Mitchell, swept away by Miles and Bill, Evans, honing his guitarist's skills on folk and jazz improvisation, Eric Daniel has become a key figure in a new generation of instrumentalists who resolutely defy categorization, crossing the boundaries between jazz, pop and rock which is, in a very real sense, progressive. To the Cézame catalogue, he has brought his ability to orchestrate all facets of the guitar into one original work. An eloquent synthesis of space and rhythm, of folk tradition and jazz improvisation, of the composer's accuracy and the performer's crystalline sensitivtiy which lends itself so perfectly to the world of music illustration.
