Subj: [kl] Another American sound.

There is another great precurser so far not mentioned, and he would be
Simeon Bellison (spelling may not be correct). His school of sound has
fallen out of favor (and I believe deservedly so), but he is one of the
influencers of the so called "New York" sound that pervades the playing of
Leon Russionoff, David Glazer, Frank Cohen, Charlie Neidich and thier
students. It's not a sound concept I'm crazy about, coming myself from
Stanley Hasty, who is a big influencer, but not an actual student of
Bonade, though sounding like many of his students. (how's that for a run-on
sentance, no time to edit tonight). While the sound is currently not in
fashion, it did have many adherants, and was quite influential. I would
look into it. Anyone else have more to offer about this wing of American
clarinet sound? Any corrections to my thoughts? (I probably got something
wrong......)
