Eddie Daniels - To Milton With Love (2025)

Eddie Daniels' tribute to the legendary Brazilian musician / composer Milton Nascimento. To Milton is Daniels' third tribute album to a Brazilian music legend, following 2018's Grammy nominated album Heart of Brazil: A Tribute to Egberto Gismonti, and 2020's Night Kisses: A Tribute to Ivan Lins. Featuring longtime Daniels and Resonance collaborators, To Milton has guitarist Anthony Wilson, pianist Josh Nelson, bassist Kevin Axt and drummer Ray Brinker, plus the Lyris String Quartet and arrangements by Kuno Schmid and Josh Nelson. Together they have recreated Nascimento's second studio album, Courage, which was produced by Creed Taylor for CTI Records in 1969 and featured Herbie Hancock and Eumir Deodato. The 16-page booklet includes liner notes by award-winning author James Gavin. To Milton is produced by Resonance founder and co-president George Klabin, who was inspired to produce this project by a chance meeting with Nascimento in 1969 at a small jazz club in New York City. Klabin picked up a copy of Nascimento’s Courage album when it came out, and it remains his absolute favorite recording of music to this day, some 56 years later.
