A great list! I always loved Pete Fountain too. Clarinet was my first instrument. My great Uncles were Edmond and Herbert Hall (You have Edmonds playing down WELL!). My grandfather Clarence also played clarinet, although was better known as a session player and recorded with Fats Domino on the 1st RnR recording to sell over a million copies in the late 1940s. He also played in Dave Bartholomew's band as they were best friends. According to the family, they weren't the best in the family on clarinet. They all claimed (arguably) my Uncle Robert was, however, he stopped playing in 1941 to raise a family. One correction: Edmond played with Louis Armstrong and the All-Stars for a total of 8 years on I believe two separate occasions. He eventually left the band, bored from playing the standards every night and briefly moved to Ghana to open a music school for kids.

Buddy DeFranco??? He pretty much brought the clarinet into bebop. I know these lists can be difficult, but Buddy was not only a phenomenal player, he was a true innovator. Buddy D was one of the big stars of Tommy Dorsey's band along with a young Sinatra and Buddy Rich. I'm a little partial too, I admit, because I got to play with him on a concert back in 1988 at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp when I was a young man of 22 years. Partial or not, I think Buddy is top 5.

With all due respect (and I really mean that) to post this as the "Top 10 Players in Jazz" is ridiculous. I disagree with your list and I think you are flat out wrong for ranking these players. What was the criteria for ranking each player? Top 10 according to who? How can you rate one better than the other? This posting would have been much better served if you had listed something like: "Ten of the Greatest Jazz Clarinetist of All Time" and then followed it up with another 10 and then another. Posting the ten you listed as the "Top 10" was a slap in the face to the many clarinet greats that you omitted such as Jack Maheu, Peanuts Hucko, Pee Wee Russell, Archie Semple, Bob Wilbur, Joe Muranyi, Irving Fazola, Phil Bodner, Bobby Gordon. It who among others are considered as "next round draft picks" who may or may not be chosen for the second or third or fourth round. Am I a tad upset? Damn right I am! I've been playing jazz clarinet for over 55 years. I was weaned on the sounds of some of the greatest jazz clarinetist of all time, some who I had the pleasure and honor to know personally and shared a stage with. It's not a matter of who is a better technician or who is more famous. So who ranks higher? Anat Cohen (ripping through "Chinaboy") or Pee Wee Russell (whispering through "The Very Though of You")? If you answer is either "Anat" or "Pee Wee" then I would question your love and appreciation for both jazz music and the clarinet. The fact of the matter is they are both great jazz artists - who happen to play the clarinet. It's a sin to suggest or give the appearance that one ranks better than the other. My suggestion: Get rid of the title "Top 10 Clarinet Players in Jazz" and replace it with "Among the Great Clarinet Players in Jazz". Other than that good job Peter and Will in mentioning some of the greats that don't get much mention anymore. ps: Don't forget Frank Teschemacher!

Hey, great video! could you provide some info (or maybe sheet) on that nice melody you make in the first 10 sec of the video?
@PeterAndWillAnderson Жыл бұрын
Thanks so much, Geffry! I don't have a sheet on it, it's just something I improvised quickly on the spot. If you want to learn it, it might help to use the slow down feature on YT and go note by note. Transcribing is the best way to learn jazz. I can try to right it out if I can get around to it.

Granted the clarinet was more popular in the swing era but the music that came afterwards is a lot more difficult. Jimmy Giuffre, Buddy Defranco and even Paquito DRivera should be listed in any top 10 list. But to not list the torch bearer most of my life (I’m 57) Eddie Daniels. Your list is just the 1st 3 decades of jazz clarinet? Why?

@@PeterAndWillAnderson Thank you SO much! I’m a long time saxophone player who is trying to get the clarinet together after many years ( with more than several bouts of frustration) I’m thinking that maybe the 5JB with my Pete Fountain Leblanc might be a little extreme, and seeing your set up seems to send me thinking even more so-do you find that your set up works well for jazz in a live setting? Projection/volume?

Can’t argue over Benny Goodman. Unfortunately, I saw him perform late in his career when he was stealing money. I would replace Buddy Bailey with Walter Blanding.
