"The Sound of Jazz Clarinet" is a deep dive into the rich and expressive world of clarinet in jazz. This playlist covers a wide spectrum of styles, from classic New Orleans sounds like George Lewis’ "Down by the Riverside" and Sidney Bechet’s "Si tu vois ma mère" to the swing era brilliance of Benny Goodman’s "Sing, Sing, Sing" and Artie Shaw’s "Begin the Beguine." Lesser-known gems from players like Albert Nicholas, Jimmie Noone, and Jimmy Giuffre showcase the clarinet’s versatility, moving effortlessly between blues-inflected grooves and smooth, melodic ballads.

With tracks ranging from Pee Wee Russell’s unique phrasing on "Love Is Just Around The Corner" to Tony Scott’s cool, modern approach on "Blues For Charlie Parker," this collection highlights both tradition and evolution in jazz clarinet playing. Whether it’s a lively romp like Ted Lewis’ "Clarinet Marmalade" or the introspective tones of Eddie Daniels’ "First Gymnopedie," this playlist captures the instrument’s expressive range, making it a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast.
