Victor Goines Discusses Barney Bigard

[@gwenparney4891]

I'll never understand how Victor Goines makes the clarinet sound like that. It's so beautiful.

My name is Barbara, I am Barney Bigards Grand Daughter, I also have his clarinet, funny to hear someone talk about my Grand Father.

I remember when Mr Bigard played whith Louis Armstrong ( It was with the all stars I think ) He played Dardanella alone in solo during 6 minutes . 6minutes with never 2 x the same musical sentence ( I hope you understand , in french we say : jamais 2 x le même phrasé ) He was the only one who can do that with a clarinet . Barney Bigard had a great imagination , for me , he was the best clarinetist during all that fantastic years ...

Victor Goines is all class. He now teaches at Northwestern University. Chicago has a received a wonderful gift from the great city of New Orleans.

Nice video. I love Bigard’s playing.

[@jwmc41]

The pieces he played with the Rex Stewart, and Django Reinhardt are truly amazing

[@lyndafoster9437]

That is so soulful. Love it ❤

Thank you for remember Barney Bigard. I think the use of an Albert system clarinet is essential for producing that New Orleans sound. It's what gives you that "woody" sound.

[@theblueriverjazzbandmusic2540]

Not essential. Pete Fountain, Tom Fischer, Tim Laughlin come to mind immediately as long time New Orleans masters…all played/play Boehm, and Victor Goines here sounds beautiful playing in the style.

Beautiful !!! How does one get that breathy tone on the clarinet ?

[@robertthomas6022]

Love JALC can't wait to sit up front again ! Bigard & Ellington collaborated on MI ! Loved the effortless fills w' Mr. Louis Armstrong !! Narlins Cats have a good run going cause they all can blow !! Pandemic has robbed us all , time for the Blues !

[@arnoldwegstern5124]

Nice. But take a look on Martin Schmidt-Hahn s clarinet as well !

[@paulmartin199]

Barney's feature was "Tea For Two" a lot of the time .Ed Hall's was usually "Dardanella"

[@roosterslime9430]

Can I request you guys to one on tricky sam nanton?

[@IanBenedict]

[@jwmc41]
