Superb. I saw the item said 'my homage to George Lewis'. Thought I would watch it to see how poor it was. I am totally amazed at the quality of the work. Wonderful feeling, perfect timing and it simply made me cry. I'm 81 and my Dad ran his own jazz and dance band in the 30's so I grew up with sounds like this.Going to listen to it again.

Listening to this makes the rest of the world disappear. What a pleasure.

Improvisation in music is a gift, the notes to stay in the right key can be somewhat taught, but the rest mostly comes from the heart

omg i love this reminds me of my dad playing it i still have his clarinet on the wall

My god this is soooo smooth. The note transitions are flawless. I have watched this no less than a dozen times in the pass 12 months and I always come back to it for comfort. My hat off to you. Bravo!

I never get tired of listening to this song.

Wish I could play like that .. lovely tone and articulation.

Brings back memories! I started music back in 1958 on one of those Albert clarinets. Beautiful sounds you get out of the thing! 👍

I have to hear this at least once a week. Just before I hit the sack. It just calms my soul.

Sidney Bechet brought me here and the song Petite Fleur this instrument is so sweet the way you play it has opened my ears Bravo sir.

Tons of feel. Brilliant... thank you, sir.

Excellent. Yet once again. Great tone, feel and emotions. Look forward to more. God Bless!

BEAUTIFUL homage to Geo. ....made me ALMOST weep. Superb.

Hey Ian, I have never heard this song before. I loved your version so I went to iTunes to buy a copy for my music collection. I previewed several George Lewis' renditions, and "all" of the other musicians versions. None were satisfactory. Your version here on youtube is far superior. Your accompanying instruments are smartly subdued which allow your smooth, beautiful clarinet to ring clear and true. Your notes are so full sublime emotion that I have a shortcut of this link on my desktop to listen to whenever I need. I am excited to say, you are awesome and your version of this tune is leaps and bounds better than anything on iTunes. Thank you for the pleasure of hearing how this song should be played to bring out it's full emotion.

I always love the way you play

A Class playing my friend... kudos.

I absolutely love this

Lovely feel to it, light & sensitive, wish I could play it half that well on my stick. Thank you for the minutes of nostalgia, my era growing up with Chris Barber et al.

Excelente interpretación! Muchas gracias por compartirla!

Very, very nice. My late father loved George Lewis as do I. He and I visited New Orleans in 2010, staying in the late George Buck's musicians apartment in the building he owned that housed his Jazzology studios, in the heart of the French Quarter. Your homage was wonderful; you should be very proud. You have brought back wonderful memories for me.

Beautiful tone Ian, I'd forgotten how lyrical the ofd Albert system could sound.

your amazing

Magnifique :-)

Nicely done!

OH MY!That was so sweet,excellent,that's the way it's done.

Ian, this was amazing!! Thanks!

Hi Ian. without doubt your and George Lewis versions give me the best mental lift. My Dad said 'float on the music and it will take you to heaven'. My other favourite is Goodman's 1928 version of 'thats a plenty'

My word this is Seriously Good playing , fluent smooth as cream with edge , I came here from George Lewis its no surprise you pay homage

petru romania thankyou mister klarinette ton fantastic

What wouldn't I give to learn to play like this... I have a clarinet sitting by my side for years now, I just can't seem to pick it up and start doing something =/. A lucky man who can play like this

I love to hear you play. I loved your tenor and clarinet style on St. Louis Blues too! Sent it to a friend of mine that is a great tenor, plus...musician too! Thank You!

Thank you so much. DerKlariNette

Fantastic. Thanks.

Beautiful

Thank's sir, give me my memories melody tune clarinet at my dad... 🙂

Great! I love your tone and your sense of music!

Beautiful, you're getting it, keep practising.

wow absolutely beautiful

Fantastisch !

Love your sound

Beautiful!

Lovely tone, lovely tune.

An amazing sound

Yes, very good, så godt, mange tak!!

I have started a Jazz club in Ghent on February 2014, the name of our club is "Burgundy Street Jazz Contact Punt" because this song has always been my favorite. You play it so very well. We want to have you in our club. Please take contact me.

Très beau ! Un vrai plaisir à écouter !

Can not decided which of your versions ( clarinet or tenor sax) I like more. Very impressive either way. Love your videos, and channel

Que som maravilhosos....Magnifico e perfeitooo

Oh man I can almost smell the Cork Grease. :D

good, you play easy , few notes but with much heart and sentimental passion .

Ian you are Bloody GOOD love it I play Tenor sax I think I know what good is.

Замечательно звучит кларнет и басист очаровывает своими точными нотами!

That was soooooooooo nice.

- "Сладкие Качели" ! Браво!

Well done Ian. The clarinet player that was very good , Jimmy Hamilton , who played with the Duke Ellington orchestra . I always thought got little if any recognition, and as I have listened in my later yeas am more impressed with his artistry. George Lewis I am not too familiar with his playing. Your rendition is very good .

Hi Ian, Absolutely beautiful! Do you also play the Bb Boehm clarinet? Is the backing track Band In A Box? John

C'est merveilleux

sounds good. thanks upload.

great music and that is all

Composed or improvised, what's the diff? When you improvise you are composing on the hoof I reckon. Anyway he made it up and recorded it and it's a good composition/improvisation that's worth learning for its own sake. You can hear me improvise my own stuff on a 12-bar blues sequence elsewhere on this channel.

Magnifique. Je ne connais pas le système Albert. En tous les cas bravo !

Great sound, nice tuning

lovely xx

Super, très mélodieux, la plupart des morceaux sont géniaux...un seul regret j aimerai me procurer les partitions et cd avec et sans instrument...un jour peut être seront ils en vente bravo musicalement

Hi Ian :-) Good feeling, great playing :-) I am currently learning how to play the clarinet (just 2 years...) and I love this piece. I am currently transcribing it with the help of my poor ears :-( from George Lewis: Burgundy Street Blues If by any chance you have the sheet music for your playing (G tone maybe?), this would save me some effort: I am some kind of lazy… Did you record the backtrack by yourself? Best :-)

What a beautiful sound, thank you for sharing it! May I ask if the clarinet you are using is a Bb or an A?

This is just sublime! Your music is sweet and gentle. Much appreciated. Would you mind sharing your set up? Reed brand, its strength, mouth piece etc. Cheers!

I´m trying to find the backing track to play with her. I could tell where he is please. Very good recording

Me escrivir parabéns pelo trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏🎺

❤

Saca un sonido prodigioso. Magnífico

Muy bueno.

I think your Italian Albert sounds a little unusual, softer than most Alberts I've heard; almost like a German/Austrian clarinet. Anyway, your rendering of this tune is very good. But to be honest, I would have preferred to hear YOUR improvisation on Burgundy Blues. George Lewis did not compose this one, he IMPROVISED it from scratch, when he played it the first time.

Nice :)

Hi Ian, nice playing on this tune! I now you play C Clarinet, Is there same fingersetting as saxophone, no change and bridge like Bb clarinet? I have problem goin up an octav, think Bb clarinet is intrument also for me? Johnny D Bergh

wow nice job ian! you improved a lot your performance with the clarinet. Could you tell me where to find the play along? i just love this song and play it with a track would be great :)

Son de ouf

I love your performance, as I understand it you use Band in the Box for the backtrack, which style is it you are using.

What kind of clarinet are you playing? It's got a really sweet sound. I know most of the sound is the player (congratulations on that,) but I'm still curious about the instrument.

Thanks Ian. Beautiful playing. Where's the best place to get fingering guide for Albert simple system? Got my clarinet from Edinburgh. Best Wishes.

Wow such an amazing sound! What do you recommend as far as starting clarinet from being a saxophone player?

Great Mr Boyter ! What kind of mic do you use please ?

Not bad!

Bonjour Plus de News ni de nouvelles vidéos ! Que se passe t il ? ❤

Çlarilove.

That's not improvisation, I play this tune on gigs on my Albert System clarinet, you like all of us that play it try to emulate one of the versions by George Lewis, I may decorate it a bit but I would not dare to improvise on Burgundy Street Blues, you play it well but with no improvisation I'm pleased to say.

Jouez-vous avec un RC 12 de BUffet Crampon? Quelle est la force de votre anche? Merci pour votre réponse

Thanks lan, better than you, just me

great music and that is all
