I like the clarinet for bebop and more modern styles, too. Beautiful instrument that too often gets unfairly relegated to "period" music such as swing, early Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman stuff. I get that the sax fingering is easier, but I just like the sound of the clarinet better (especially than tenor sax, my least favorite instrument in jazz).

Howard Alden has recorded with Anat Cohen on clarinet. Videos on YouTube. Good stuff. He has also recorded with Ken Peplowski, also good stuff. The guitar and clarinet go well together, starting in about 1939 and continuing til now.

Hey Seattle-area folks:
I'm teaching at Matt Munisteri's "Red Hot Strings" camp in Port Townsend, WA May 14-18.
After the camp, I'll be in Seattle for a few shows.
For anybody on this board, I'd highlight the Sunday 5/19 show, since it'll be the only gig outside of a swing dance setting. Fretboard Journal head honcho Jason Verlinde actually recommended the venue to me, so I think it'll be a great show.
And the rest of the shows:
What was that piece inspired by a North African...
