Re: 1964 Chevy commercial clarinet

Whether it's a CT or Leblanc Dynamic (as Pete played), or even an R13, that's some nice pitch bending. Can anyone go from Mozart Clarinet Concerto to this style and play both "correctly"... without any change of equipment?

And what's the name of this tune? A full recording anywhere (by Pete or whoever)? Shazam couldn't help.

I'm also a bit amused by the cultural setting. The wailing clarinet is supposed to help imply a sophisticated high class (but not too expensive or exclusive!) life style. Would one drive a big new Chevy to the symphony in 1964? or the night club? 1964 was pretty early in the marketing psychology game- today every nuance of music would be geared to precisely the correct demographic for the vehicle.
