Albert system?!? Pls explain? Wannabe Clarinetist.. sax player fool

@@highaltitude7573 Just an iPhone recording, me on clarinet with pianist Kris Tokarski in his house. The “dialogue” is Ed Hall in some rehearsal tapes that Denis Lichtman posted interwoven with some ambient noise. That’s from a different rehearsal with Tony Scott and Billie Holiday, but their voices are not audible. The whole thing seemed funny at the time for an April Fools gag. But now with all this AI bullshit, maybe it’s not as amusing?

@@highaltitude7573 …Ed Hall was always a huge influence on me. His sound has been part of my playing for decades. For example, this is from 2003… kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHyah5yDpNFqjck

@Clarinetroad so many questions answered. The quality of the recording was particularly good .. and a swing almost pre modern jazz and unbelievably good version of Giant Steps .. I couldn't initially pair up the dates and styles and I was completely confused... although the Clarinet was so good I thought it to be true..but now it makes sense.. given the other Edmond Hall rehearsals clips on here posted by Dennis Lichtman..it could almost be possible... the other rehearsal clips were brought to my attention by Adrian Cox. We all seem to have a strong connection with Edmond Hall and Sidney Bechet... you both as musicians and for me as an enthusiast of that style of music.

that sounds like a little "growl"

It’s simpler than you may think. Try to hum through the notes. Doesn’t need to be high pitch, just a low hum

More to come, thank you for your kind comment. Would you believe that, in my mind, I'm just playing the melody over and over?

I played my share of empty rooms too.

I've played in big bands / jazz bands for almost 50 years and have always had to double on clarinet (+ bass clarinet and flute). To say that there are no clarinets in jazz band is not at all accurate. To be fair, though, you should learn sax - it's not a big jump (and I think it's easier than clarinet).

@@johnfogg7858I will disagree with you in terms of him learning sax because of Jazz, in Cuba and some related countries The Clarinet is very dominant in their own traditional Jazz, so we need to encourage more clarinet players to start practicing how to improvise

I was told same when I was in the university, but by Gods Grace I have my own band where the clarinet plays a leading role in various genres like Jazz, pop, highlife

@@Officialclarinetman I'm talking about the real world in the USA where there are WAY more musicians than there are opportunities to play for money. If you want to make any money playing jazz woodwinds, you'd better be able to double. You can espouse ideals all that you want but ideals won't feed you.

Bro what does a clarinet have to do with fucking skin color

@@Idkwhattoputfr69 And nationalities

@@Idkwhattoputfr69 It's clearly not about the clarinet, literally just a statement because andrus9000 liked the music so much ??????
