The Atlanta drummer known as either Billy or William Daniels is most frequently confused with the singer Billy Daniels of "That Old Black Magic" fame, but he is also not related to the Daniels who translates ancient aboriginal texts in Australia. Had he amassed more recording credits, the drumming William Daniels might have had half a chance of establishing his own identity. As it is, his greatest opportunity has been the release of nightclub sessions in which he plays in a trio led by the great jazz pianist Teddy Wilson. ~ Eugene Chadbourne
