Subj: [kl] ID clarinet player in"Nero Wolfe" mysteries?
Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2009 12:07:36 -0400

Does anyone know who played the clarinet in Michael Small's original jazz
and swing music for the "Nero Wolfe" mystery series? The series, set in the
1950s and made in Canada, ran in shortened form on A&E for 27 episodes in
2001-2002. It featured unusually good period-style music tracks, some of
them genuine oldies (Louis Armstrong!) but others, including the excellent
end credits music, by Small.

I'd like to identify the excellent clarinet player in case he or she has a
CD available. No "Nero Wolfe" soundtrack CD has come out, though according
to someone on an A&E blog, Small's drummer was Terry Silverlight, if that
helps. The name Bunchy Music, c/o AETN, also comes up. I can't find Michael
Small and ask because unfortunately, he died of cancer shortly after the
series ended.
