Thanks Dan, very interesting video. Nice to hear how vibrato really can contribute to the musical expression. I certainly will experiment more with vibrato in classical pieces.

Does remember me of a clarinet lesson in my youth. I had listened the whole week to recordings of Jan Morks (a jazz player that used a lot of vibrato) trying to copy his sound. After playing the first piece in lesson the teacher said: Did you notice that strange vibration in your sound? Of course I noticed it and I was actually proud of it. But he was not amused and said that 'we' clarinettists play without vibrato, except for some horrible English players... :-) Well, that was 20 years ago, when the difference between the international clarinet 'schools' were more pronounced than now.
