At times sultry, at times jubilant, but always classy, clarinetist James Danderfer's swinging trio transports the listener back in time to the small 1930s cabarets of New Orleans and Chicago. Reminiscent of the great Benny Goodman and Jelly Roll Morton trios, this ensemble performs classic repertoire as well as James' original music inspired by the genre. James has performed for audiences around the world and was commissioned by CBC Radio to compose a suite of trio music dedicated to Jelly Roll Morton. With Miles Black piano, Joe Poole drums.
