Larry Combs is probably my favorite clarinetist overall. In dixieland Pete Fountain is just awesome( although I am truly a concert clarinetist, I can appreciate talent in other areas). For concert clarinet I really like Guy Delpi( not sure of spelling & he`s a french clarinetist).

Yeah, Larry Combs isn`t too bad. I just really like Sabine Meyer`s famous dark German tone - could recognize it anywhere. Gervase de Peyer`s easy going soft tone is pretty contagious too. Guy Delpi? I don`t know, never heard of him.

I like Sabine- and i like dark clarinet, but I rather french clarinetists because they are usually more advanced technical players- the Oehler system is second to the Boehm for a reason- it is too big and clumsy and in appearance it definetly doesnt compare ( not that looks matter). Guy is a french clarinetist so thats why you probably dont recognize the name. If you want to hear him- just give me your AIM s/n and i can send it to you or something like that.

BENNY GOODMAN ALL THE WAY! lol, I LOVE jazz clarinet (i am in a jazz band with alto sax/clarinet) and the combination of jazz and clarinet is awesome. There was this other guy too....i cant remember his name, i think it was Don something, he was AMAZING!

Benny Goodman is terrific only when he is playing jazz, though. Has anyone heard the recording of him playing Mozart`s Concerto? With all due respect to Mr. Goodman, that was the worst rendition of the piece I have ever heard coming from a professional musician.

Correction- Guy Deplus- I had only heard his name once , and it was from someone with a thick accent, so I didnt know. I just know he has an awesome sound.
I like Eddie a lot too, and I`m even ordering the clarinet he endorses- the Leblanc Concerto II because Leblanc is the best! I also have his new ligature and I will be getting his mouthpiece. I just prefer some clarinetists to him.....
I also like Gervase and Mitchell Lurie.....
For bright, open sounds, I like Tom Piercy`s sound alot, although I prefer dark clarinet tones. Bright Classical that is, because bright jazz will always belong to Pete! (Acker Bilk doesnt come close- eww!)
