Doreen - The Clarinet Queen

[@smokynmonkee5054]

"Love makes you do crazy things" God Bless you Doreen , you've broken through the Jazz glass ceiling!

[@PotomacTraps]

The little girl in the video in 2009 is Doreen and LAwrence's daughter, Doriann, now a "grownup" and their regular drummer. Still at the same corner on Royal, in front of Rouse's Market.

[@Dang000]

She is a legend worthy of praise. I was in NOLA this past May. I was fortunate to see her play. I had no idea I was in the presence of greatness. I did some research and I know how lucky I was. I have seen her on the HBO show "Treme." Buy her music and support this wonderful artist.

[@IOLTA]

I saw DO-Reen at the International Clarinet Festival in NOLA in 2003. Without a doubt, the loudest clarinet I have ever heard. She's a virtuoso. Sings, too. Love this woman.

[@justicebeske5704]

She has such a unique and beautiful clarinet style.

[@littleblu33]

I saw her on the Drunk History show and immediately looked her up... She is truly a clarinet queen, nay, clarinet goddess. Love at first listen holy frick!

[@danstanford3071]

I still vividly remember the incredible feeling that swept through my body when she stood up and filled that street with her power. Only thing I can remember that hit me as hard was seeing my own kids doing something magnificent. We bought a print of a painting of her and brought it home to live in our house. Thanks Doreen.

[@vincentb9159]

Doreen Ketchens is a phenomenal clarinet player; I would love to meet her in person.

[@kenbblain8949]

Such amazing playing you are the best clarinet player I have ever heard and I am 74 god blessed you that's for sure Keith in the UK xx

[@AnneCozean1]

That woman is none too shabby in the vocal department, either. Thank you!

[@TheSmoothCriminal]

I want to see this girl so bad, hopefully she will be in New Orleans around New Years 2011.

[@cibula]

I just found an old cell phone video of Doreen playing on Royal St from a couple years back, but had no idea who she was. It was simply labeled 'Amazing Street Musician'. Thank you so much for the informative video. I hope she is doing well.

[@makobell1702]

always so happy to see any coverage on doreen!! what a talent

[@radical09]

I was in New Orleans during spring break about a week ago and I saw Doreen. She is really something special. I've never seen a talent that can stop you in your tracks like she can.

[@Belrivers]

What she is about, and her beautiful delivery of expression as a human being could change the world. Please come to NYC. You are so great folks would come to New Orleans just to see and hear you. I got Louisiana roots.

[@thwninjascopez]

Crap.. Now I gotta add "watch Doreen play" on my bucket list... Gee thanks, talent.

[@BrentwoodBoy53]

This is exactly why I love visiting NOLA. God bless you, Doreen. Thanks for sharing your gift with the world!!

[@fenderstratguy]

I want to come to New Orleans someday and meet you! Can't wait!

[@daniellellissiqueira1150]

She’s so lovely...

[@Sparkyk]

I am headed to N.O. for Satchmo Fest in Aug. I hope I hear Doreen on the streets playing her heart out. She puts lots of heart and soul into it. Love it.

[@PaulGreen11]

Obviously the band needs a good manager, they're good enough to be off the streets and on tour.

[@redpunk]

PaulGreen11 Maybe they like hanging out in their neighborhood and playing music.

[@PaulGreen11]

knupder Yeah, you never know.

[@toodie535]

read her bio on her web page!

[@tjgman98]

knupder well she did say she didn't want to be on the streets

[@toodie535]

touring is expensive, maybe she's tapped into a good cash flow right there.

[@trumpeterval8751]

i am blessed to have met Doreen in NOLA and she gave me a big hug!

[@djhott1022]

I'm bless to be from New Orleans we have such a rich cultural didn't realize until I left

[@joebaumgart1146]

I'm the exact opposite but equal. I play jazz on all 28 instruments I play. I can read and write music fluently, but I have a hard time being put in a box.

[@ageofaqu]

Wow!!! Love the tunes!!! I'm inspired to play the clarinet. I love the sound of this clarinet, obviously Doreen is the queen of the clarinet :) Serious note, does anyone know if it's an Albert system clarinet or a Boehm system??? Appreciate the help. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@minka866]

I new!

[@adticoalu]

Boehm

[@netzah3488]

Massive 'Agape' Respect

[@mrjimmienoone2130]

Does anybody know which clarinet she is playing?

[@IrinaNOLA]

I really love this video! I also have some videos of Doreen on my channel, but yours is awesome quality and is done like a mini-documentarie! I would love to get in touch with you if you live in New Orleans, may be we can network and od something together? I am also getting into shooting documentaries about local artists and performers, may be you could teach me, I am looking for video-tutor. Thanks, Irina

[@mrjimmienoone2130]

She's the best. Even better than Evan Christopher and Michael White.

[@smokynmonkee5054]

[@marcial0225]

[@auralanarchy9432]

What song is this in the beginning

[@sheaseufert2946]

Aural Anarchy lil’ Liza Jane

[@alexcarter8807]

This is just "street" recording, yet hear how her tone carries through! It sound like it was done in a studio.

[@Ebolish1992]

you see, When The devil faced Johnny he felt bad so he gave him the fiddle... but you see when he heard her play he imploded with fear for the power of her music was over 9000.

[@professionalidiot557]

1:24 Harry Potter? And can someone tell me where is this woman now?

[@vitoh9964]

Saw her two days ago on the street!!

[@rodtrues1]

ITS A National disgrace the TALENT that has to struggle JUST TO TRY TO make a honest living in this country today, not only in N.O. But all over,,,,put more than a dollar in the bucket, BEST COUNTRY in the WORLD,,,,,,

[@Conrad1867]

SCAMERICA, breh

[@skatersaxman]

Lady, come to Ronnie Scott's in London, you would have a sellout performance, if America is not appreciating you.

[@mrtimezone8658]

Everyone check out: Super Bad Brad

[@stevenattaway]

Lets see, A 7 minute video is 420 seconds. 420 times an assumed 24 fps = 10,080 frames. At a $1 for a picture, which means she is owed $10,080 for this 7 minute video.
