| New album!
We're very excited to announce Walking With Lions, the debut jazz album from Daniel Edmonds. It features fresh, inventive jazz realisations of standards and some surprising musical gems.
Recorded with some of the finest musicians in the country, the album features: Daniel Edmonds (piano, keyboards, vocals), Brendan Clarke (bass), Toby Hall (drums), Con Campbell (tenor) with special guests Fiona Sullivan (vocals) and Barrie Shaw (soprano sax).
“Daniel Edmonds had prepared a series of subtle, clever arrangements which enhanced the vocal patterns, and provided the voices with a lush warm background, adding a completely new dimension to their sound, as well as adding opportunities for soloists from within the orchestra”
– Bill Stephens, The Canberra Review
