Interesting point there Hiroshi. I agree that there are hidden musical geniuses in the world. I hope I end up being one of them. However, I don't think Goodman was THAT bad. I mean yeah, he had some shakey phrasing, and maybe his approach to Mozart was a bit on the Jazzy side. But look, this man, who obviously performed in public more than most clarinet players, spent the majority of his playing years on the Jazz scene. He was either doing stuff for radio, or was traveling all over the place doing gigs with his reknowned orchestra. So what if he didn't sound like
Stoltzman, Combs, or any other clarinet player specializing in Classical pieces. Maybe it's just that at the time he was still in a "Jazzy" mood. Can you imagine Stoltzman playing "Stomping At The Savoy" or "In The Mood" with a jazz orchestra? I can tell you that for jazz people, it would probably be considered the same way as many consider Goodman's Mozart work. Or think about this. Have you ever played something for so long in a day that you want to diverge a little? Like you experiment or something? Well, let's see Goodman was in session perhaps for a long while, you never know with the record people, and he was playing the same thing over and over again. Well, maybe he was a little tired. I mean, I love music, especially what's written for clarinet, but I even get tired of certain things I've played. Don't you??????
