Hello,

I`m just starting to learn clarinet and wanted to listen to some music so that I can start to "hear" and understand the sound of the instrument. So far I have purchased some Weber and Benny Goodman.

Is there anyone else that I can listen to to help me out. I must say the Goodman has so many other instruments that at times I`m not sure which is the clarinet *blush*

So any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks

Try to find a recording of the late, great and much lamented Jack Brymer playing the Mozart clarinet concerto. This was a man who really understood the clarinet.

if you wanna hear AMAZING clarinet jazz improv, listen to a jazz band call BIG PHAT BAND. Their clarinet ist is a guy named Eddie Daniels. Find a recording of their song Sing, Sang, Sung. The clarinet solo in there was improvised by Daniels.
