Claire Daly has been called "A prize player hidden in plain sight" by the New Yorker magazine. She has won the Downbeat Critic Poll "Talent Deserving Wider Recognition" 4 times.
Her first CD, "Swing Low" has been placed in an interactive listening station in the William Jefferson Clinton Library in Little Rock, Ark. He placed it on a list of CDs that were significant to him while in office.
"Heaven Help Us All" features the trio Solar (Eli Yamin, Adam Bernstein and Andy Demos), w/ guest artists Warren Smith on vibes, Napoleon Maddox on human beat box and a splash of spoken word by Kirpal Gordon. The overall effect is a fantastic jazz journey that is meant to be experienced as such.
