Evan Christopher @ Jazz In Marciac 2014 (Farewell Blues)

[@aurorachivalry1084]

I didn't know clarinet could sound this smooth. Wish my brother sounded like this when he was practicing

[@kilroywashere0361]

At the beginning he, i think, was doing a thing called smearing. It’s really cool and smooth to listen to but fairly difficult

[@jamesatherton6231]

I would recommend wooden clarinets for a smoother sound

[@angrycarebear8631]

Is your brother squidward?

[@delwinvelasquez4222]

Kilroywashere 03 Increadably difficult I imagine

[@Clarinetroad]

Ha!

[@uhoh007]

Not enough Clarinet in popular music. You show why we need more. Thank you.

[@ceciliaramos70]

I agree, sometimes it feels like an underestimated instrument.

[@CNep99]

When I was little kid starting out in school band, I thought the clarinets always sounded like such a bore, then (being a trumpet player myself) I pretty soon after started listening to Louis Armstrong and hearing his group, along with other groups, I was like damnnnnn jazz clarinet players go hard

[@markowalski1]

[@fanta4743]

Man, I appreciate when I find someone that plays the clarinet too! Seems like an underrated instrument. Loved it!

[@jamespetrosius8108]

I think that too,it is very beautiful sounding instrument,none can equal the sound,the sax can't do it either

[@danktankdragkings7117]

largest range eof any wind instrument. From 4 below to 4 above the staff. We have a 4 octave range.

[@andrewbailey7999]

I always like the sound of jazz clarinet! Sax is great, but the clarinet has something mellow and smooth about it that the sax can't match!

[@crazyjlr1455]

agreed

[@jamespetrosius8108]

So true,no comparison, clarinet is such an amazing instrument,so underated,so versatile,can go so low,then so high,wow

[@rimusmusic9716]

Agree!

[@leonardo.diCATio]

In highschool I took jazz band, and I had to play saxophone, and to this day I'm still salty. Clarinet is so perfect for jazz, yet underappreciated.

[@erbalumkan369]

I wish my middle school band teacher could eat her tongue for telling me there’s no clarinet in jazz band when I wanted to join!

[@johnfogg7858]

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).

[@Officialclarinetman]

@@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

[@Officialclarinetman]

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

[@johnfogg7858]

@@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.

[@Clarinet69]

Gotta love a good old Oehler system clarinet

[@evanchristopherclarinet1559]

Nope. Just Albert system. ...This is an old Selmer with 6 rings. Maybe that's why it looks like it has more keys.

[@RocktCityTim]

Slappin' a fresh #3 on tonight. Evan and Pete - my favorites of Dixieland royalty! Oh, and who on Earth can downvote this?

Wow! very enjoyable! Interesting clarinet too - don´t see many of them around anymore...

[@evanchristopherclarinet1559]

This is Selmer's "Improved" Albert system made in the 1930s. It was popular with many New Orleans clarinetists back in the day.

[@emilianoturazzi]

@@evanchristopherclarinet1559 Johnny Dodds for instance...or maybe not.. form the old pictures his clarinet seems to have had six mobile rings as a "full" Bohem (those descending to the written low e flat)

[@evanchristopherclarinet1559]

@@emilianoturazzi Yes. There are a couple photos out there of Dodds with a Selmer like this, but I don't know when that was or if he ever recorded on it. ...Range is normal, no low Eb key. ...I don't know of any photos where the rings under his fingers are visible, but I doubt he would have preferred the ones with six rings.

[@emilianoturazzi]

@@evanchristopherclarinet1559 oh the low Eb key exists only in french system clarinets, I know :) used baiscally here in Italy and in Spain ... www.amazon.com/Olivers-Photo-African-American-Photograph/dp/B07G1RXHDZ in this pic Dodds has two clarinets with six rings - one must be an A clarinet - I've always assumed that he used those kind of intruments... as Jimmie Noone if I well remember his photoes...and maybe Barney Bigard :) all the best

Why is it that people on the sound board never crank the volume up when the upright bass solos? Really annoys me. Guy is hammering that bass with great skill and almost no one is going to hear him.

[@Urfavcorn]

I actually play clarinet in band

[@danktankdragkings7117]

keep it up. I'm a professional cook but I can't tell you how much joy being abel to come home and create music once Ina blue moon has brought me. To be able to just get home and throw some creativity out to the world is invaluable. And adults always seem so fascinated when they run into someone who can read music in the wild. Everything your band teacher says about your reading ability, math skills, and situational awareness are true. I find myself using the old skills a decade after leaving high school. I'm now teaching my 8 year old nephew how to read sheet music (basic piano poke key songs). Stay with band it will serve you well the rest of your life.

[@MrGellert619]

@@danktankdragkings7117 Really great advice! I played classical clarinet from middle school to uni, but I eventually dropped off after the second year. I knew it would be a profession I would never enjoy. However, besides my new major music stayed with me, although it shifted towards techno DJ-ing; my ear for music, and an understanding of the structures helped me learn smoother and faster. Also, playing in a band is good practice for teamwork, a skill that goes a long way.

After many, many years of hearing upright bass solos...I still can't figure out... Why can't we get pickups/microphones on the bass so I can hear the bass solo well? I'm always disappointed with the sound level of the bass solo. Awesome music though guys. Thanks for sharing. Wonderful stuff!

[@Clarinetroad]

Yes. Their mix could have used a touch more bass. But for me, the problem is any performance situation that *requires* microphones for the bass. These types of outdoor situations are *not* for this type of music. ...Virtually impossible to get them to make decent sound *on* stage the priority. However, what are you listening on? With good speakers, I think Marciac did a better job than most.
