1:39 I’ve played the clarinet for 10 years, and I have NEVER heard anyone play a C that high so cleanly (ON PURPOSE). Absolutely stunning!

[@malcolmthebear]

Judging from that audience gasp immediately in its wake, I doubt anyone there had heard such a clean high C like that either.

[@quinnsanderson7263]

I found how to hit it: you need to almost squeak the very high g note on clarinet (4th octave G) and it comes out as a mildly in tune 4th ocatve C

[@ElwoodElwoodElwood]

@@malcolmthebear I can barley hit a high b… this is my third year of playing clarinet

[@trtl9106]

Everything about this is perfect. The bass player's stank face, the insanely clean runs, the growls and the high notes, and it looks like everyone in the audience and on stage is melting into this man's clarinet rizz

[@jaheriawilson19]

shiett man if i got hit with some clarinet rizz irl, I think I'd start foaming at the mouth

As a new clarinet player and Sax player first, I freaking love your style and I’m a big fan of Johnny Hodges and I love that kind of Duke style. Absolutely rich!

Bro you’re amazing

[@charlielove.]

This was so good! I wish I could see more of it. Bravo

[@geofixated]

I used to think that below a certain point there wasn't enough air crossing the reed for it to vibrate. I stand corrected.

[@russelljazzbeck]

Yea his dynamics are masterful

[@connorfitzhugh9572]

the absolute stank on that was incredible

[@DJCloudy_]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how flawlessly he hit that C? Those high notes are very hard to get right even while practicing and taking your time.

[@Brady-rz6vq]

Can we appreciate how good his growl is!

[@Sewer.R4tz]

As a clarinet player, this takes my breath away. Literally

[@ang3l002]

And my high school band said clarinets weren’t jazz instruments:////

[@Q_Tard]

Whoever said that should be fired immediately.

[@xeon2773]

idk probably cause most charts that hs bands play dont require doubling or dont have clarinet parts written (thats the case for me so i just learned tenor sax too lol)

[@imaddatu6819]

If clarinets aren’t jazz instruments, then ask the band to explain Benny Goodman, jeez

[@blitzal-0]

I was already loving this because of the cleanness of the runs and beautiful sound, but then that C came out of nowhere and with such a good tone too, absolutely amazing.

[@ribofen]

It's so laid back in tuning and beat. And that's a good thing.

[@DizzyDebacles]

[@grantblevins4351]

Composer gave him the signal and he came thru

[@carlitosignacio5679]

The clarinet solo unleashed a pungent, almost tangible stank, its notes oozing with a heavy, musky intensity that filled the room, creating an atmosphere thick with raw, earthy musical vigor.

[@mattw4065]

Holy cow, Victor made that look simple!! He's outta this world

[@tamentatsu3219]

I have played clarinet for 20 years and I NEVER sounded like that. He has MASS TALENT!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ and the SWAG on those notes just hit home so hard it made me feel like I was in New Orleans at jazzfest.

00:46 Bruh..., the young cat on the bass sells the whole illusion of "dirty". The current title of the video, "the dirtiest clarinet solo" oversells a solo that's superb but not the DIRTIEST. The solo is 7.9/10 but the look of abhorrent filth beyond imagination is 10/10. The entire group, including the clarinetist, is 10/10. Bravo!!!"
