Comment:

I did a clarinet mix under my old, lostinthemix handle, but it was more a rote list of 20th century jazz clarinetists than a proper mix. So I'm giving it another stab, with the hope of perhaps working this into a series. // The clarinet fell mostly out of favour after the Big Band era, over-shadowed by the more `muscular' tenor sax. Only a handful of musicians (Tony Scott and Buddy DeFranco, most notably early on) brought the instrument (kicking and screaming) into the modern era. Eric Dolphy popularized (although that might be a rather grand word for it) the bass clarinet, but it never caught on, and today the only person I know to use the bass clarinet often is David Murray. // Perhaps there's a reason the clarinet doesn't strike the ears with affection for a lot of jazz fans, and I know some think it's a bit facile. I happen to love its tone, especially in the lower register. I hope some folks dig this mix.
