-->Lisa Clayton was asking about "a new jazz clarinetist
-->whose name I've been trying to track down."
-->
-->I have two good guesses at who that is. Most likely is
-->Don Byron, the clarinettist from the Bahamas who has been
-->a star player with the Klezmer Conservatory Orchestra.
-->He's come out with two albums on Elektra/Nonesuch.
-->One is more Jazz oriented, called "Tuskegee Experiments"
-->(though it has some Klezmer oriented music and even a
-->transcription for bass clarinet of a Schumman song).
-->The other is a tribute album to Mickey Katz, a later
-->Klezmer player, popular in the 1940s and 1950s, who
-->happens to be Joel Grey's father.

-->--James Langdell jamesc@-----.com
--> Sun Microsystems Mountain View, Calif.

I've been trying to think of this guy's name. I heard the some of
the tribute album on the radio recently -- good stuff!
