Hello, good morning, and welcome to the Saturday Morning News Post!
Well readers, it’s a busy and exciting time for this ol’ jazz clarinetist while I prepare for my live trio recording next week (@ The Cellar, Aug 6/7, 8:30pm) and get ready to release my electroacoustic ep. That’s right, the same electroacoustic project that I started recording a year ago. The same project that I have been hyping so much for so long that it has surely long since raised expectations beyond reason and as such could do nothing but disappoint.

Hello, good morning and welcome to the Saturday Morning News Post!
Actually, this isn’t a post. I’m taking the week off due to being in Edmonton this weekend,… that’s right,… the “City of Champions.”

Have a great week everyone!

Hello, good morning, and welcome to the Saturday Morning News Post!
I’m feeling a bit tired this morning and boy are my legs sore! You see, it’s the sweet spot of Summertime in Vancouver right now, which means that it’s not raining for awhile, the sun is shining, and the temperature is perfect; hot but not too hot.

Hello, good morning, and welcome to the Saturday Morning News Post!
Yes, I know. Late again!
Danderfer’s had a loong week people! Two words,… jazz camp. That’s right, all week long I’ve been waking up at 7:30am, driving an hour across town, and teaching kids (age 12-17) how to swing. … Despite the fact that I, myself am not sure how to swing at 8:30 in the morning!
There were just enough kids for two 7-piece jazz combos and the format was well suited to my abilities as it was quick, focused, and goal oriented (a concert at the end of the week). I like to think I’m a pretty good teacher, perhaps “over-thinkers” are handy in this way because we really think through the processes of what it is we do. more…

Hello, good morning and welcome to the Saturday Morning News Post!
Readers, let’s get down to business right out of the gate and allow me to hype an upcoming show of mine in Vancouver. Here goes…
THE JAMES DANDERFER TRIO: A LIVE RECORDING @ The Cellar, August 6/7
featuring JAMES DANDERFER clarinet, MILES BLACK piano, JOE POOLE drums
Clarinetist/composer James Danderfer leads this fun, swinging trio playing 1930s standards and fresh originals in a classic style reminiscent of the great Barney Bigard and Jelly Roll Morton trios. Come down and party like it’s 1929!
