This album entitled “If Not Now” came together thanks to a timely creative spark provided by producer Cory Weeds, who offered clarinetist James Danderfer a recording date at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studio. Amid the demands of raising a family and navigating an increasingly busy and distracted world, a real deadline and an exceptional group of musicians became a clear call to action. All the music was composed over a focused few months and reflects a deeply personal snapshot of the artist’s life—his family, his musical influences, and the players he was writing for. At the heart of the project is Danderfer’s clarinet, guiding the narrative with warmth, lyricism, and clarity.
