It just runs off your fingers like honey.. Summering in perfect time...

hi Ian, I'm learning the tenor sax for a few years now, love listening to you improvising on the tenor and also the clarinet. I am 70, hopefully enough time left to come close to be playing by ear and improvise. Cheers, Gary

Sweet, buttery sounds coming from that horn. Really enjoyable!!!!

summertime jazz is like one of the best clarinet jazz pieces.

So beautiful and thank you for sharing!

love this song well done

I would love to improvise as you do. Thanks

Super j'adore votre solo de même que sur vos sax que j'écoute souvent avec plaisir bravo merci pour vos partagés ♥️👍🎶🎷💪

Very nice!!! I love to listen this from time to time.itoo play the clarinet!

Amazing

Beautiful. I've improvised on this song a lot vocally but now I want to try it on clarinet.

Lovely stuff.

I love it. ❤

wonderful

Love your clarinetplaying !

long time no see, of your clarinet, nice indeed, Thank you for giving me the motivation to start play sax, after 40 years of clarinet howling, both tenor and soprano :)

Amazing !!

bravissimo...great swing

very good...wonderfull mood

Nice improvisation! Enjoyed it immensely. Creative and ‘well spoken’, .........so to speak. I too am 70 and have returned to clarinet after almost 50 years. I’m spending many hours per day practicing, loving my instrument and working on my improvisation. It’s coming along and I can notice improvement. Your advice to Mary is sage. Somebody way smarter than me ( which includes a colossal number of people....) said that 80% of success is just showing up. Perhaps. But when you do show up, be motivated, spend the time make the effort. Time, effort and motivation. Key ingredients. It appears you’re playing an Albert System. Great sound. Edmond Hall, Barney Bigard.........and now Ian Boyter! I was playing my Selmer RI that my father bought in 1931 or 32. But the Selmer is getting tired, so I’ve purchased a LeBlanc Rapsodie. Not a high end instrument, but plays extremely well.

very cool....YOU my fav!

Just beautiful! Really scratched that itch!

EXTRA, thanks

I really like the light way you improvise. Nice clarinet sound, although I prefer your alto sax ! Congrats from Mexico

I just started clarinet last week, I am 53 and your videos are cool.

Ese es el toque Maestro

Wow !

Excellent 😉!

Wow! an Albert system clarinet. Try a boehm system its a ball breaker. Albert is like playing a saxophone. Jimmy Dorsey played this kind of clarinet and played the heck out of it, one of the best .This cat sounds real good and has a lot of soul!

very, very nice, my compliments!!!

Dear Ian. Your videos are really inspiring. I play hungarian folk music on clarinet and folk flute, but I'm interested in jazz and other styles. I have a 60-year-old Gottsmann clarinet with german system. Greetings from Hungary. 😉👋🇭🇺

I wish!!!!!!!

👍👍👍👍

I don't know, those Albert System clarinets, I would not be seen dead with one, but I'm pleased to say I'm still alive and playing and have four I play regularly, a Bb, an A. an Eb and a C. The Bb and the A are a matched pair made by E.J Albert, lovely playing.

Великолепно. А вы преподаете ученикам.,

a quelle minutes est l'improvisation

Hello Ian thank you very much for sharing with us all these beautiful music. I wonder where can I get the sheet music that you play for clarinet?

Hi Ian the composer of that number came from Ukraine he started music rather late I think at the age of 12 alot of eastern Europeans music have become jazz hits ,tango when new immigrants arrived in the USA they brought with them their lost tunes.

very nice

is bocal vandoren b45?

Please could I get the sheet notes of this? I won't send to nobody , ps. you are playing great!

So much body on that Albert System.
