Hey everyone, looking for thoughts on some interesting Jazz clarinet players/leaders. I know Dolphy and Lester Young among others played a bit, but I'm unfamiliar with any players who devoted a lot of time to it, or used it as a lead voice consistently. Interested if anyone knows of anything out there in the way or artists/albums? ------------- We are men of action.

We slightly had the topic of the clarinet before in this thread. I recommended Buddy DeFranco, but I may say the same opinion more here.

For modern clarinet you have: David Murray Don Byron John Carter Bop: Buddy DeFranco Cool: Jimmy Giuffre Fusion: Bennie Maupin (bass clarinet) Swing: Benny Goodman Artie Shaw Woody Herman Classic Jazz; Sidney Bechet Jimmy Noone I thought Paul Gonsalves played clarinet too, maybe I'm wrong, anyway, this is a very incomplete list. |

| Oh. I remembered Sidney Bechet to see the list which John submitted. "Egyptian Fantasy" was my favorite music. |

check Anat Cohen's albums, she was voted clarinetist of the year in 2008, 2009, 2010 ny JJA
------------- I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ... Ken Burns |

Yeah, I must say I much prefer the bass clarinet than the normal one... It seems to add so much depth to the sound
When Eric Dolphy plays it, it strikes as hard as Maupin. ------------- my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

Barney Bigard........... Creole, New Orleans, played in The Louis Armstrong All Stars, King Oliver as well as with Duke Ellington.( He played on the first version of "Caravan"  A real pioneer and my fave. I know what you you all think, just because he plays with Louis 
Pee Wee Russell..........Often stated as just a trad player but Pee Wee mixed it up. Another pioneer. On The Art Kane Jazz Portrait
 Sidney Bechet is up there with Louis and Jelly Roll Morton at the dawn of recorded Jazz.. As well as one of the first to record at Blue Note, very early days.
They all played sax as well. ------------- Matt |

Ace! Thank you all, I'm going to side step the swing era for a bit - and see how I go with some of the more modern players first. Excellent, thanks again! ------------- We are men of action.
