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.

I saw them a few times when they were on this tour.

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:

I like Jonathon Doyle's playing a lot. I'm not sure if he's still based out of Austin, because I haven't heard much about him lately. He's done some work with Joel Paterson in a quartet with guitar, and with other bands with guitar, so he's not unfamiliar with it. I would love to see that gig, but Seattle is much too far and snaky for me, way down here on the third coast. It would be nice if someone could do a video of any of your appearances, but that might not be possible. Good luck up there.

Jonathan Doyle has been based out of Port Townsend, WA for probably 5 years or more now. He's such a great guy, and a great musician. Hopefully there'll be some video, but we'll see. I would love to get down to Austin again, if for no other reason than to jam and hang with friends like Dave Biller or JD Pendley. Thankfully, Whit Smith is also teaching at Red Hot Strings so I'll get see and jam with him there.

I'll be at Red Hot Strings next week and I'm really looking forward to taking some classes with you along with some other awesome teachers there. Seems like a great learning opportunity in a very nice setting.

Dying to go to that camp. Have a great time!
